You Should Smile More – Original Acrylic Fluid Art Painting

This piece doesn't perform for anyone’s comfort. It exists on its own terms.

You should smile more.
They say it like they’re helping. Like your expression is a problem they’ve been invited to fix. But what they’re really saying is: Make yourself easier to look at. Quieter. Softer. Less real.

This painting was made for every woman who’s been told to perform happiness to make others more comfortable. For the ones who were expected to look pleasant instead of being in their truth. For the souls who know that forced joy is just another form of silencing.

It’s not your job to make people feel at ease. You don’t exist to be palatable.

Because your face is not public property—and your feelings are not up for debate.
