His art is inspired by the simple emotion of JOY! Yasmani Hasan lives in Cuba and we met him on the street while searching for spiritual artists. His message is that too many times, we focus on the negative, both within and around us. It is much more important to focus on happiness and JOY. It is always within the reach no matter how tough the situation is. In this painting, he is captures the smiles of children from Africa that are always represented in malnourished and sad images. His message is that they too have happy moments and can teach us all a lot about being grateful and enjoying life with limited resources. The original painting is also available. Purchase your print today, bring JOY into your work space or living room & help us support our artist. 

This art moved us personally as well. Every time we take the stage, we are judged before we speak because we are 10 and 8 years old. When we speak, we set the record straight. We may be small, but we have big dreams. We may be young, but our business model is strong. We may be youths but we have the power to change the world. We dedicate this painting to all the youths of the world, to help them realize, they have within them the power they need to make a difference. 

To all the youths out there, this art is for you. Never underestimate the change you are capable of making in the world.

The sunset marks the end of a day but it always marks the points, where there is hope for another day. Of new beginnings. Of new emotions. 

This painting is also expressing the artists love for those that have visual impairment. While they may not see the sunset, they feel it. They feel it sometimes a deeper level than those that see it. It is lesson for all of us to have hope, to not just see things but to feel them.

Havana is a vibrant city. Full of color and this road by the ocean is always full of people. Laughing, having fun and enjoying with friends. Through this art, the artist is encouraging us to not just see those moments but to feel the company of others and to cherish those around us. In the original painting (not in the prints), he has braille embedded at the bottom so it can be read by those with visual impairment.

This painting is very special. It is our vision of bringing the world together come true. Our artist Jason Fobister from the First Nations Reserve of Grassy Narrows in Canada painted this for Rob Van Der Ende from Singapore after they both met at our business launch. There are emotions expressed in this painting that words simply cannot be described. It is a perfect gift for your mentor, the care taker, the selfless souls in your life that support you.

" The golden eagle landing on top of the tree represents the selfless role models with their wings spread out kinda sheltering the life under them. With a beautiful sunset with golden rays of light that are making themselves known that this is the moment!!! There is nothing to fear as they are there, as the protector of this sacred tree, all of life can continue to flourish and live. The tree is on a little tiny island surround by water like its own little oasis with just a tiny bit of mist. And I think that is the place people feel blessed and reminded that life is a real beautiful place and this is the place to be! This painting Harmony is poetry in life, when color is unleashed and is set free, the most beautiful collaboration can occur, there is no predator and there is no prey! We can then come join hands and like nature, be sculpted to perfection. We shouldn't live our lives for tomorrow, we live it for today! This painting is inspired by my friend Rob from Singapore" Jason Fobister

This painting is dedicated to all the mentors in our lives. It was inspired the life story of a principal and the sacrifices educators make for their students. This gentleman battled through cancer and he just loved teaching kids. I was asked to paint for his farewell from the school after teaching for 30 years and I didn’t know what I was going to paint. His life story is pretty amazing, and I decided to paint a tree as it provides shelter to others. It had to be strong, and I started mixing my golds and my bronze colors. I could see the life of a teacher is so vibrant, so I painted the leaves red. I added a book in front of that tree because that is his life and his life is about teaching and helping people to learn. I wrote a page and a half in that book, and I left half of the page empty. It is a symbolic reference that the story of life has to be written completely as a human and the story goes on.

"When a traditional dancer dances, people always see his power and steps and all the way how he is dressed. They are very fierce and brave but, they have a beautiful dance. When he grabs his whistle, it is a part of the eagle’s wing. The significance of the eagle whistle is to pray for people and for anyone who gave you a tobacco to blow the whistle at a pow-wow.

When you blow that whistle you are giving the eagle life again because you’re with the eagle and it is not all by your self. The painting to me has a lot of power because he is holding the eagle on his staff he is looking at it. He has so much grace and power that for the rest of his life he is going to be a dancer and cannot stop because, it is for health and for enjoyment. That is what the dancer is doing he is bringing back to life to an animal which had a past and he is giving life to people who observe him dance. So that is the significance of this painting."

"Not every mistake is a bad experience, this painting is an example of that. t was an idea in my head and I pursued it. I painted an eagle with a moon in the background, but I accidentally put too much water on my brush and it dripped on the canvas. I was thinking “oh no” and then I grabbed a rag and tried to wipe it but it made streaks on the painting. It had such a unique quality that I didn’t want to fix that mistake instead I wanted to use that mistake and make something good of it and that actually was the best thing that happened to that painting. So later, I added more drops and ended up wiping it, adding more color. It was real joy doing that painting. You can always learn from mistakes. They don’t hurt as long as you can find beauty in it you can always do something with it. Don’t always go with your original plan because plans always change. This painting was proof of that and something I can learn from."

One time I was fishing and saw an eagle. Sometimes if you catch a fish and you throw it back in the lake a eagle might come and take it. So that is what I did and then an eagle came and took it to the top of a tree.

Then I started to fish more and caught another fish and threw it to. Then an eagle came and took it but, I had gotten my camera and the eagle had landed on the perfect tree. I really wanted to capture the grace and the power when it landed on the tree and he had my fish which I had caught so I really wanted to capture it.

Hopefully I captured it for you.
