As emoções: Sentimos? logo exprimimos #3 (ALEGRIA CONTIDA)

In Alegria contida, the expression holds more than it reveals. ‘I feel so good, I keep it to myself!’ translates that state in which happiness doesn't need a stage, just inner space. The figure shows an almost complicit calm, with a subtle glint in the eye and in the features that denote pleasure, but also reserve. The painting captures the moment of intimate fulfilment, when contentment is not dissipated by excess, but protected by silence. The composition is balanced, light and serene, like someone who knows that joy is sometimes a quiet gesture.
