Ulysses #078 ‘In Art Colours’

This enchanting multi-colored abstract painting features a playful palette of soft pastels—gentle pinks, serene blues, sunny yellows, and minty greens. The childlike charm of its hues belies its deeper artistic inspiration: page 78 of James Joyce’s Ulysses, where he describes a “splendid masterpiece in art colours.” This painting captures the essence of that phrase, celebrating the boundless joy and creativity that vibrant, innocent colors bring to the world of art.

Art doesn’t need to be serious to be meaningful. The childlike colors may seem whimsical, but they serve as a reminder to embrace the things you love—regardless of convention or expectation. A painting should resonate with your heart and make you feel something, whether it’s a sense of nostalgia, peace, or simple happiness.

“In art colours” is perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of pure expression, uninhibited by rigid rules. Hang it in your living room, nursery, or any space in need of a touch of lighthearted energy and creative freedom. This painting invites you to celebrate art as an act of joy—and to choose pieces that speak to your soul. 🌟

Add this unique work to your collection and let it inspire moments of wonder every day!
