Joyful Escape

A burst of color and expression, Joyful Escape captures a laughing elderly man emerging from a vibrant, fragmented world. The figure seems caught between dimensions, realism and abstraction, memory and dream. The dynamic background, composed of layered and rhythmic color bands, reflects both the energy of life and the chaos of emotion.
This painting continues Mihai Cotiga’s exploration of joy as resistance. A radiant statement about vitality, absurdity, and the humor we need to survive ourselves. Painted in oil with rich texture and bold chromatic contrasts, it’s part of a series dedicated to laughter and lightness in a world that often feels heavy.
