Rays of the sun penetrate sweets among the leaves of the trees, in the quiet afternoon of a hot summer afternoon at the park: and here are the paintings of Shira Sela, an artist based in Montreal. Just squint to see a memory composed of beautiful bright pastel colors, blurred contours, but at the same time visible, to allow the scene to materialize before fading into the maze of memory.

The mood of Shira‘s work contains a serene nostalgia composed of small scenes of life, which could very well be an album of photographs-memories. The children play carefree on the beach, a bike ride, the sea and immediately we find ourselves a bit ‘to think of childhood memories. On Instagram you can find other works of the artist: whether you are at sea, in the park or in the city, the sunrays of Shira’s paintings will reach you to warm you with their light.
