Puzzle of the Azure Mind

"Puzzle of the Azure Mind" evokes a sense of mystery and introspection. "Puzzle" suggests complexity and the idea that the artwork is something to be deciphered or understood, much like the interconnected pieces of a puzzle. "Azure" refers to a rich, vibrant shade of blue, reflecting the various tones present in the artwork. It also carries poetic connotations, often associated with the sky or the deep ocean, invoking a sense of depth and serenity. "Mind" links the artwork to the concept of thought, perception, and consciousness. The neon blue outline of the mushroom at the centre can symbolise a focal point of insight or revelation within the "mind." Together, the name hints at an exploration of the inner self or consciousness, represented through the interplay of blue tones and the central mushroom figure. It invites the viewer to delve deeper into the layers of meaning and symbolism in the piece, making it more than just a visual experience but also an intellectual and emotional one. The intentionally imperfect, almost childlike painting style, which appears more cohesive and polished from a distance, reinforces this theme by encouraging the viewer to reflect on how perspective shapes understanding.
