“The Highway of Life”People juxtaposed against home and vegetation.Artist’s perspective In the painting, one identifies people in a procession. These people are positioned in the two middle rows, signifying the protection they enjoy from the environment. Second, the different colours used, their various tones and intensities is an attempt to define the individualism of each person. The painting seeks to portray the urgency with which every person congregates on what we call the “highway of life”. This highway includes all human endeavours -work, school, trade, faith, etc. Whilst on the highway, everything else (captured in the painting as the vegetation and buildings) becomes secondary. The rest of the story lies with the viewer.The Highway of Life” A painting inspired by the constant human endeavor towards well-being. The story of human existence cannot be told without identifying with various attributes meant to enhance their wellbeing.
