About this work

This painting shows a person lying down on a cloud-like shape, with their legs curled up and arms stretched out. Above them, a poem is written in flowing, uneven letters. The colors are bright but soft, with blues, greens, and pinks blending into the background. The poem talks about brief journeys and fleeting moments of peace. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to keep things feeling light and dreamy. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
