What do the Unalienable Rights mean to you?

Join artist Steve Simon as he unveils "The Unalienable Rights," (https://steve-simon-2.myshopify.com/) a series of three paintings created to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence! Inspired by the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha, Steve takes on the challenge of painting the abstract concepts of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In this video, he breaks down the rich symbolism, color theory, and historical references meticulously woven into each piece: 🎨 Life (03:57): Grounded in the color green, this painting features symbols like the Egyptian Ankh, the cosmic egg, the Tree of Life, and the endurance of the peony and lotus flowers. 🗽 Liberty (07:25): Immersed in the blue-green patina of the Statue of Liberty, this piece incorporates the historical Liberty Tree, the Phrygian cap, the Iroquois Great Law of Peace, and the resilient Guernsey lily. 🌻 The Pursuit of Happiness (11:18): Bathed in the yellow of sunshine, this painting highlights the joy of music, a winding path representing the pursuit itself, and the serotonin-boosting colors of sunflowers and Gerber daisies. 00:00 Introduction 03:57 Life 07:25 Liberty 11:18 The Pursuit of Happiness As we approach America's 250th birthday, Steve's goal is to spark a national conversation about these foundational ideals.
