Cold wax and oil on panel

I did this painting a few months after my mother died. I would have these overwhelming moments, somehow forgetting she was gone, only to be reminded. Almost 5 years later and it still happens.

— Fix The Shadows —
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.

A monochrome photograph showing two teenage boys walking along a pavement past a fenced-off piece of derelict land. Beyond the land is the gable end of a tenement, the lower part of which is covered in graffiti. On the other side of the street from these tenements is another row of tenements.

A blue-tinted monochrome photograph. Parts of the Scottish Parliament complex can be seen through panes of glass that form the top part of a wall. A long concrete structure intersects with the glass, casting diagonal shadows on the wall. The sky is cloudless.
