Inner Smile is an original Imaginal Symbolism artwork by Uslada.
Measuring 60x80 cm (24x31 inches), this 2015 piece combines acrylic paint with embedded Murano glass on canvas, creating light-responsive textures that shift with movement—adding a tactile, almost alchemical dimension to the viewing experience.
Part of the Omnia Mutantur Nihil Interit series ("Everything Changes But Nothing is Gone"), Inner Smile embodies the series' profound philosophy: while forms and experiences transform—love into betrayal, pleasure into pain, sadness into ecstasy, birth into death—nothing truly perishes. The work evokes an inner radiance that endures amid life's dualities: a quiet, knowing smile that holds both depths and heights, inviting the viewer to embrace transformation without loss and find transcendent peace in the eternal cycle. The integration of genuine Murano glass fragments infuses the painting with subtle iridescence and depth, symbolizing how fragments of experience remain luminous even as they evolve.
This piece radiates subtle empowerment, spiritual resilience, and joyful acceptance.
Signed as "foxi" (the artist's pseudonym Foxi Von Riga, used until her name change to Uslada in 2019).
