Stoic
A Stoic is one who follows the philosophy of Stoicism.
This age-old philosophical movement emphasizes personal virtue and wisdom as a path to true bliss.
It is about controlling emotions such as sadness, fear and desire through rationality and self-control.
Synergy and metaphor
The works below, which I generated with AI, are housed in the series “Stoic mosaics”.
For me, combining the mosaic design with stoic facial expressions creates an interesting synergy. The mosaic can be seen as a metaphor for the complexity of emotions and experiences, while the stoic face keeps this complexity in check.
The subtle colours reflect the nuance and depth of Stoic thought.
