I took the photo during the Kannawidan Festival of our province Ilocos Sur. I did not get the name of the painter and not even know the title of the artwork. But the painting is kind of mystery. Though the girl is smiling but the eyes is intentionally not finish. An impact just like the Scream but I think the mood here is happy rather than frightening. The blue color motif.
Sometimes its hard to get a meaning of a painting especially when its abstract. Just this one, full of mystery.
If I am to give a title: The Smiling Lady With No Eyes

@josie_ my interpretation now is based on @Daljinder comment, its the happiness that can be feel and not what we only see. We should also judge people not on what see in them but on what they are doing and living.

Did the artist paint that on a canvas?

@ilocosboy It's a layered painting technique and it doesn't look like it's painted on a canvas.

Aside from the eyes, I find the writings disturbing...

Intersting, we use our eyes for identifying one and even judge, so i think this face is of a lady who is happy for no reason, which is sign of wisdom and painter does not want viewers to judge the face of the lady, which brings use to the point, lady cannot judge use ,she has no eyes, we have eyes yet cannot judge her.
This is what painter wants a world where nobody judges other.
