Contemporary abstract painting inspired by place, memory, and quiet joy.

Where Joy Lives is a vibrant modern abstract painting that captures the feeling of home, belonging, and quiet happiness.

Layers of turquoise, deep ocean blues, and soft aquas are interwoven with warm golden and coral accents, creating a sense of movement, light, and emotional warmth throughout the canvas. The composition feels architectural yet fluid — like light moving through windows, rooms, and memories — suggesting a place that holds comfort and ease.

Expressive marks, layered textures, and gentle contrasts create a rhythmic flow that invites the viewer to explore the surface and discover moments of calm, brightness, and connection within.

Painted on a bespoke handmade stretcher and finished with a protective matte varnish, this artwork is ready to hang. It offers a contemporary statement while still holding a deeply personal, uplifting presence — a visual reminder of the spaces where joy quietly settles and stays.

Close-up details reveal layered blocks of colour, subtle surface textures, and rhythmic transitions between opaque and translucent passages, echoing the sense of place, memory, and quiet balance held within the work.
