The Universe of Laria: An Odyssey Through Emotion and Imagination

The Universe of Laria, an international online painting exhibition by Shay Hazelwood officially opens on March 3, and continues for two months until May 3, 2025.

Step into The Universe of Laria, a realm where emotions take shape, color, and movement. In this deeply personal and transcendent collection, artist and storyteller Shay Hazelwood invites us on a journey through dreamlike landscapes, surreal gardens, celestial expanses, and textured emotions—each painting a portal into an untamed world of feeling and reflection.

For Hazelwood, art is more than a visual experience; it is a visceral means of understanding and processing the depths of human emotion. "I create art as a means of working out my emotions. My goal as an artist is to raise the emotional awareness of the people," she states. This ethos echoes through every brushstroke, every swirling sky, and every whispered detail of The Universe of Laria, where sentiment and sensation coalesce into something both ethereal and raw.

Each piece in this collection is an exploration of the subconscious, reflecting the delicate balance between chaos and serenity. "Let There Be Light" radiates with the duality of darkness and illumination, a reminder that hope flickers even in the most shadowed corners. "Skeye Key" unlocks a celestial mystery, urging the viewer to peer beyond the surface and into the unseen wonders of the cosmos. The vibrant, overflowing florals of "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" embody both the beauty and complexity of promises, while "Scars" reveals the layered narratives of resilience, pain, and growth.

Nature—both earthly and otherworldly—dominates Hazelwood's universe. In "Dragonfly Lake", water ripples with quiet contemplation, while "The Secret Garden" hints at hidden sanctuaries of the soul. "Luna’s Dawn - Embracing the Vastness" stretches toward the infinite, inviting us to embrace the limitless possibilities that lie beyond fear.

In every piece, texture plays a crucial role, embodying the tactile reality of feelings too profound for words. "Color Waves" and "Vintage Rain Flowers" swirl with abstract intensity, drawing viewers into a sensory experience where emotion is felt, not just seen.

The Universe of Laria is not just a collection of paintings—it is an invitation. A call to pause, to feel, to step beyond the familiar and embrace the vast emotional landscapes that reside within us all. Through this exhibition, Shay Hazelwood does more than share her art; she offers a mirror to the soul, encouraging us to explore our own depths, vulnerabilities, and luminous possibilities.

Welcome to The Universe of Laria—where emotion is the canvas, and imagination knows no bounds.
