Paradise

Acrylic painting on panel, 16in height x 12in length.

I took this picture while visiting Japan, where a DJ booth caught my attention. I fell in love with the colors and learned how light could transform them. The neon hues shifted the mood of the space and brought unexpected vibrancy to even the smallest details. In recreating the scene, I began to understand how lighting doesn’t just illuminate, but also defines atmosphere and emotion.

I also submitted my painting for an art exhibit at my school, and it was chosen for display, as well as the design for the poster.
