The painting titled "Happiness" by Kalevi Liska is an abstract composition dominated by a vivid yellow background, which conveys a sense of brightness and joy. The yellow seems to be applied with energetic brush strokes, creating a dynamic texture across the canvas. Interspersed throughout the yellow field are small, rectangular blocks of color that appear almost like windows or doors to another dimension. These blocks are rendered in a variety of hues including blues, greens, reds, and purples, adding a playful contrast to the monochromatic yellow background. The small pops of color seem to float on the canvas, creating a sense of depth and movement. The overall effect is one of optimism and joy, as if the painting is a visual representation of the emotional state of happiness.
