The title is a line from the emotional state on that day, as referenced by the diary. This is part of an ongoing practice, where the artist intuitively paints for a few hours each day, allowing for his mood and perception of the day to influence the work.

Simon Findlay is a contemporary artist based in Berlin, , since 2016. His work explores a deeply personal relationship with color through durational and experimental visual expression. Simon's artistic practice is process-driven and often incorporates performance elements that challenge traditional painting methods.
His performances have included unique and bold acts such as throwing rocks during a snowstorm while dressed in shorts, limiting his palette to only blue for an entire year, and experimenting with unconventional painting tools like brooms and bendy sticks to extend the brush. He has also engaged in performances such as ripping and restapling canvases, throwing paint inside a transparent cube while accompanied by musicians, and a memorable piece where he stood on top of a washing machine to throw bottles of paint at the ground.
Simon’s art reflects his continuous exploration of color, form, and performance, pushing the boundaries of visual art in unexpected and dynamic ways.
