Description:  Illustrations of human emotions and emotional states



Idea:  


A paint series illustrating human emotions/emotional states with the use of a small white figure made of White-Out*, and around it ambiguous flowing colors.

-Each painting is based on an emotion or emotional state.

-The figure is the “seed” of each painting.  Whether directly or indirectly, each
 painting is focused on the seed.  The surrounding painting is born from the figure,
 and is of the figure (not literally- no material blending).

-For each e/e.s., different colors and imagery to express the e/e.s., and figure has a
 different pose.



*Or something with a similar effect- separation between figure and the surrounding painting (i.e., no material blending of the two).



Example(s):  


Sadness -  Pinks; purple; figure with hands to face.


Success -  Figure with arms raised;  represented as moving towards something.


Shame -  Figure in fetal position.  A small grey globe around it.  Blackness filling the
                 entire rest of the painting.  Some thin bright yellow lightning in the
                 blackness directed at the figure.

Hate -  Blacks, reds, and yellow.  The figure is feeding the hate; the hate is controlling
             the figure.  The figure is crouched into itself.


(New Addition:  Love -   light shining from the figure.  A blown-up version of the
                                           figure is shown in the surrounded painting.)

Better conceptual understanding of the ways of being human.
