“Art has no answers, just openings.” 

Serendipity Sky invites you into an exploration of the sensation of surprise. Through experiencing the unexpected and its potential for joy, we are reminded that some of life’s most profound moments occur when we least expect them. 

In art, serendipity often manifests through spontaneous inspiration in moments of experimentation. Embracing the unexpected allows thoughts to evolve organically, marking the passage from unknown to known and further into the unknown: perhaps a serendipitous blend of color in the process of an abstract painting or an absurd juxtaposition giving way to surrealism. Serendipity infuses art with a sense of wonder and discovery. The sensation encourages us to remain open-minded towards new views, unexpected opportunities and moments of unplanned joy. 

If you will, take a moment to reflect on the role that serendipity plays in your life. Where has a chance encounter or unexpected twist of fate led to a meaningful experience? How could you make more room in your life for opportunities for serendipity to find you? May this celebration of surprise inspire you to embrace the beauty of the unexpected and cherish the magic of life’s delightful surprises.
