The word "Wellbeing" itself refers to the overall state of being happy, healthy and satisfied with one's life. My artwork which is a comtemporary painting in the form of cubism, title is artforwellbeing and its size is 13cm×20cm. I am really glad and blessed that I got chance to express what actually art for wellbeing means, As a human, as an individual I tied to express the struggles with mental heath and offering a source of comfort and support to those who might be going through similar phase and making them realized that you are not alone. I could make such artwork which evoke positive and encouraging message all over world through my painting. For me artwork is more than a just a paint on canvas but it is a testament to my resillience.
My painting seeks to promote relaxation, mindfulness and emotional healing. It tries to evoke feelings of peace, trying to accept and being confidence about yourself, serenity and joys. It tires to provide viewers with an escape from daily stress and a chance to reflect on their emotions and experiences. In my painting I use claming colors , gentle brushstrokes, and depicts scenes of nature which can be seen in the upper part of head, tranquillity and positive human connections. I use painting colours to convey specific feelings and message. For me colours plays a significant role in evoking various emotions which affect our mood, mindset and overall sense of wellbeing. There is a specific "tika" on forehead which indicates a powerful use of intense colour red which is associated with passion, energy and it evoke strong emotions including love, excitement and motivation, courage to express and release intense emotions.

It is used to life one's spirits, boost confidence and foster a sense of warmth and positively. The use of black in eye area tries to embracing the unknown and exploring one's innerself.

It’s all about connecting art to the heart and soul. My goal is to use my drawings to create awareness and to examine the bad habits youths cultivate in the society. The trauma of phone and social media addiction, drug and alcohol abuse, peer pressure, depression and a means for them to recover afterwards. I use my works to simplify these experiences in a way that individuals relate to them, having a one on one conversation with the artwork, there’s a moment of self examination, creating change.
Tanuj (India)
In my artwork titled "Harmony in Youth," I sought to celebrate and highlight the essential domains of adolescent wellbeing: agency and resilience, community and connectedness, education and employment, safety and support, and good health and nutrition. These five interconnected subtopics form the core of the piece, each brought to life through distinct visual elements.
Meghan Falconer (Jamaica)
As depicted in my piece, "Generation Z(eal)", I believe I am well because I am greeted by the flora and fauna in my yard each morning. I have access to potable water, quality education, a safe space where my voice is heard and a great system of family and friends. However, some are less fortunate and this makes me uneasy.
Julia (Brazil)
The artwork conveys a powerful message about the significance of educating and empowering the youth, particularly in the context of addressing pressing global issues like climate change. The central theme revolves around the idea that the future of our planet relies heavily on the younger generation, and they have the potential to be the driving force behind its preservation and salvation.

Ashley (United States)
This piece tries to demonstrate the feeling of being trapped in the presence of technology and social media. It tries to show how the dependency our society has on screens has a negative effect on our well being and can impose feelings of fear and anxiety among us.
Sofia (Peru)
My work is a self-portrait that uses a mixed technique, combining acrylics with graphite pencils and textures to give expressiveness to my work. Through my visual representation, I seek to convey the importance of knowing oneself and accepting oneself as one is, recognizing my own nature and value
Daniele (United States)
The well-being of the planet we inhabit as humans has an influence on us as well. This inspired me to create "Surrender to the Earth". By surrendering to the earth that brings us health and keeps us grounded, we leave behind the greedy wishes of materialistic power that tears us apart instead of bringing us together.
