Photo and words by Yves

“The Weight of a Smile” — beneath the painted joy, a quiet storm brews.
An exploration of the masks we wear, the laughter we force, and the pain that lingers beneath.
#Art #Expressionism #blueskyart

The Weight of a Smile portrays a young clown holding a crude paper smile over his solemn expression. The white makeup and exaggerated features, symbols of humor and innocence, clash against the exhaustion in his eyes. The muted lighting and soft textures evoke a haunting sense of melancholy — a reminder that behind many smiles lies a struggle unseen. The piece speaks to the fragility of joy, the act of performance in everyday life, and the universal ache of pretending to be okay.

“When the Noise Fades” — a watercolor portrait born from exhaustion and quiet surrender. The moment when thoughts blur into color, and all that remains is breath and weight.

Art and words by Yves
#Art #Watercolor #Expressionism

When the Noise Fades captures the fragile stillness that follows emotional overwhelm — the space between breaking and breathing. The subject’s bowed head and crimson hair dissolve into soft washes of blue and violet, echoing inner turbulence subdued by silence. The fluid brushwork blurs boundaries between figure and feeling, suggesting a soul dissolving into color. This piece speaks of fatigue, solitude, and the delicate beauty of simply enduring.

In the hush of fog and flame, the trees remember what we forget — that beauty is often born from stillness.

#Art #Painting #Autumn #Nature #blueskyart #complexptsd #cptsd #tree #trees #stillness #fog #flame

Where Silence Grows captures a moment suspended between breath and memory. Tall birch trees rise through a veil of mist, their fiery crowns glowing against a muted gray sky. The painting explores the quiet strength of nature — how it stands, endures, and burns softly even in the fog of fading seasons. The warm autumn tones evoke both transience and peace, a reminder that stillness, too, can be alive.

In the hush of darkness, a quiet fire blooms.
“Embers of Stillness” — an ode to resilience and grace, where color becomes light and silence turns luminous.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Art #StillLife #blueskyart #ContemporaryArt #cptsd

Embers of Stillness captures a poetic tension between fragility and strength. Against a void of darkness, the calla lilies rise—fiery orange petals glowing like embers suspended in quiet air. Their stems arch with grace, yet the composition radiates a restrained power. This piece reflects the delicate persistence of beauty even in solitude, a moment where warmth survives the surrounding night.

“Molten energy” — a collision of color and emotion. Where crimson and gold collide like molten metal, and silence becomes a roar beneath the surface.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves

#AbstractArt #Expressionism #ContemporaryPainting #cptsd #blueskyart

Molten energy captures the tension between eruption and restraint — a landscape of raw emotion forged in fire and stillness. Veins of red and gold melt into deep blues and blacks, suggesting both destruction and renewal. The textures evoke a sense of molten energy barely contained, as if the painting itself were breathing. It speaks of the quiet moments before transformation, when chaos simmers beneath the surface, waiting to break through.

Art and words by Yves

A portrait that doesn’t shout, yet refuses to fade.
Every muted hue, a held breath—every wash of green and gold, a quiet act of defiance.
Quiet Rebellion — an exploration of identity, silence, and inner strength.
#Art

Quiet Rebellion captures the fragile strength of a soul caught between introspection and defiance. Rendered in loose watercolor washes, the figure’s face emerges from abstraction — serene yet unsettled, bathed in bruised greens, ochres, and fading warmth. The painting embodies a still resistance: the power of vulnerability, the rebellion in silence, and the beauty found in quiet endurance.
