Work that we respect, love, know and through which we can create both spiritual and physical value, gives us the opportunity to be a participant in the process – an artist, a creator. What is happy art? Seeing happy art requires standing still for a moment, mental and physical independence, and an open cognitive positivity, i.e. stopping. The basic principle of acquiring happy art is based on the retrospective legend of private art*, a generator of spiritual well-being and balance for the acquirer. It is a time of happiness or a time of learning! Take the first step – stop and look at the art, take the second step – do it every day, take the third step – your happy art.
