Melancholy is imagined from a poem by Marilyn Fox titled “Melancholy Savage”. This painting extends the meaning of melancholy to include a kind of beauty that is part of human sadness. It is like the “Blues” in music, which speaks for that heavy emotion when we reach to the depths of our souls to express sadness and the profound healing in sharing human emotions.
