A simple abstract painting out of my imagination 👨‍🎨🌈

What does this painting means?

In life, we earn a lot of achievements and along the way, we face different obstacles and challenges that tries to hinder us to become successful.

Why? Why can’t we just be happy without facing problems?

It is for us to balance things.

In this painting, the tree represents life while its branches are our experiences.

Every experience has its own prize or let's say, there are awards for fulfilling such amazing tasks and that would serve as the white fruits.

The background shows variety of things that we acquire as we go along with our lives. Color red is associated with conflict, danger, strength, power, determination and as well as passion, desire, and love. Color yellow stands for happiness, delight, optimism, enlightenment, intellect and honor. Color white represents goodwill, light, innocence, purity, and virginity and also considered to be the color of perfection while color blue represents depth or vastness and also symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. All of the things represented by the colors are present in our day-to-day lives.

We may have encountered these things or will encounter sooner or later, but we should stay strong and be positive as we encounter every struggle that comes our way.

"We cannot bare white fruits alone"

We've gone through a lot of things and be able to cope up with it. A lot unforgettable experiences and memories have marked our hearts that would be kept forever because these challenges have tested our capabilities and how we strive to survive in this world.

Of all the experiences we have, there are times that our efforts would be in vain because life is not just about success but also failure. But these failures molded us to become better and to learn from our past and dark experiences.

The nature of life is like a Wheel, sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down.

this means, we cannot earn success at all times but we need also to experience being down in order for us to realize and understand the essence of life itself.

"There's no success without hardships."
Even successful famous personalities today, experienced a lot of challenges before they got to where they are right now. They have always been determined to do their best and their efforts were all paid off.

Though sometimes we fail, but the important thing is we can learn from it.
