What’s on my Easel? Work in Progress: „Political Aesthetics”
140x120 cm oil and acrylic on canvas
Once upon a time, in a world ruled by colossal creatures of various species, Adam and Eve towered over all, standing as tall as the Statue of Liberty in New York. One day, a snake approached them and offered them a bite from the Forbidden Tree, promising a glimpse into the future of a world ravaged by pollution. Adam refused, but Eve was tempted and took a bite.
Realizing what had happened, Adam requested that their two loyal lions and a jaquar accompany them to see the future. The snake agreed, and in an instant, the group found themselves shrunk to a more human size, but still towering over all others.
Dr. Nadeem, an environmental activist, was hiding behind a maple tree when he saw a large rock, an apple tree, a nude couple, and two lions appear out of nowhere. He was dumbfounded, but then he noticed a man behind the rock checking out the fruits in the tree and a coachman who had seen everything and was calling the authorities.
As chaos ensued, two elegant ladies in the coach watched in awe, while a violinist in a long red dress was approached by a curious jaguar. To her surprise, it was harmless, and she carried it like a violin, unfazed by the coachman stepping on her long gown. Not long after, a sudden change had occured but not a change in the climate but the change in human characters.
Amidst the chaos, the group of characters stood in awe at their strange surroundings, as Dr. Nadeem explained the importance of climate change and how it had affected the world. Eve was particularly interested, as she had always been interested in the environment and preserving the natural beauty of the world. The two lions seemed to understand the gravity of the situation as well, as they looked around at the dried up sunflower fields and the barren mountains.
As the group continued to discuss the importance of climate change, they realized that they had a unique opportunity to make a difference. They decided to band together and use their individual talents and resources to spread the message about the importance of saving the environment.
Adam and Eve used their influence as the first humans on Earth to inspire others to take action. The lady in the red dress used her music to spread awareness about climate change, while the scientist used his research to find solutions to the problem. The two lions became ambassadors for the cause, traveling the world to spread the message about the importance of preserving the natural world.
The lady taking a selfie was so engrossed in capturing the perfect shot that she didn't notice the group of characters discussing climate change behind her. She didn't realize the impact that her actions could have on the environment. As she looked through her camera lens, she saw the barren landscape and the polluted skies and felt a pang of guilt.
She realized that she had been living in her own world, oblivious to the dangers that were right in front of her. She deleted the selfie and decided to use her platform to spread awareness about the importance of protecting the environment.
She began to share posts on social media about climate change, urging her followers to take action. She started attending environmental rallies and protests, using her voice to advocate for change. She even started a fundraiser to support organizations working to combat climate change. As she became more involved in the cause, she realized that even small actions could make a big difference. She started using reusable bags, bottles, and straws, and started composting her food waste. She encouraged her friends and family to do the same, and soon, her small actions began to inspire others.
The lady taking a selfie may have been unaware of what was happening at first, but she quickly became a powerful advocate for change. By using her platform and taking small actions, she helped to create a better future for the planet.
As they worked together, the group of characters became an unstoppable force for change. They inspired others to join their cause, and together they worked to make a difference in the world. Thanks to their efforts, the world began to heal and the natural beauty of the planet was preserved for future generations to enjoy

He believed that every citizen had a responsibility to preserve the environment. Dr. Nadeem was particularly interested in the intersection of political aesthetics and climate change, and he had spent years studying the subject.
Dr. Nadeem later stumbled upon two lions. At first, he was afraid, but then he realized they were not aggressive, and most of all they could speak in different languages. He watched as they interacted with each other, played, and rested in the sun. As he watched the lions, he became increasingly aware of how their environment was changing due to climate change. The sunflower fields were drying up, and the animals were struggling to find food and water.
Dr. Nadeem felt a deep sense of responsibility to take action. He began organizing public events and speaking out about the importance of protecting the planet. His message spread across different citiesi in countries such as Austria, Germany, and the United States, particularly in the United Nations in New York. Through his efforts, he was able to bring attention to the issue of climate change and inspire others to take action.

He continued to observe the lions in the sunflower fields with a sense of hope, knowing that his efforts were making a difference. He was a true champion of the environment, and he knew that he would continue to fight for the planet for many years to come. By using his knowledge and passion, Dr. Nadeem was able to make a significant impact in the world and inspire others to join him in his mission to protect the environment.
Work in Progress: „Political Aesthetics: The other character

There once was a woman named Isabella who lived in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. She was known throughout the jungle for her vibrant long red dress and a matching summer hat. Her style was as wild and free as the animals she lived among.
One day, as Isabella was walking through the jungle, she heard a faint cry coming from a nearby bush. She quickly went to investigate and found a tiny baby jaguar. The cub was so small and vulnerable, and Isabella knew she couldn't leave it alone to fend for itself.
Without hesitation, Isabella scooped up the jaguar cub and cradled it in her arms. The little jaguar looked up at her with big, curious eyes. Isabella knew she had to take care of the cub and protect it from the dangers of the forest. Isabella realized that the jaguar cub fit perfectly in her arms, just like a violin. She held the cub close and felt its warmth against her skin. From that moment on, the jaguar cub became her constant companion, and Isabella never went anywhere without her little friend by her side.
The two of them explored the jungle together, and Isabella taught the jaguar cub everything she knew about survival in the wild. The cub grew strong and healthy under her care, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day.
Years went by, and Isabella and the jaguar cub became inseparable. People from all over the world came to see the woman in the long red dress and her matching summer hat, holding the jaguar cub like a violin. They were amazed by the bond between the two, and Isabella became known as the "Jungle Musician."
Isabella and the jaguar cub continued to explore the jungle, always together. They danced under the moonlight and sang songs to each other. And even though the jaguar cub grew into a magnificent adult jaguar, Isabella still held the animal close to her heart, just like a beloved violin.
And so, the woman in the long red dress and her matching summer hat, holding the jaguar cub like a violin, lived happily ever after in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, surrounded by the beauty and wonder of nature.
What’s on my Easel? Painting in Progress: “The Lady Boy”
150x100 cm oil and acrylic on canvas
The Lady Boy
The original idea was to illustrate a middle aged man having a foot fetish with a younger girl, whose private part is exposed. However, Helenna Jouja had a change of mind, thinking that the illustration could be a common scandal in the art world. She wanted a more scandalous illustration yet light and funny. She later alter the lady’s private part to a man’s private part. However, she had no model of an actual male organ, so she just illustrated the penis into something similar to her imagination: a shiny brownish-pink male organ with heart-shaped scrotum or balls. She entitled it ”The Lady Boy,” with a face looking like a gay, But then again, she had a change of mind, she wanted to paint the face of Marlyn Monroe and entitled it "If Marlyn Monroe were a gay!” She then painted the colors of the rainbow symbol of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) on the side of the male partner, who’s seemingly pretending to be a man but has a gay tendency waiting to be unraveled, and altered the original face of the lady boy to Marlyn Monroe’s sideview. Yes, it's actually Marlyn's likeness! However, her world-famous art gallerist insisted to keep the original idea of ”The Lady Boy,” as everyone seems to be painting Marlyn and it won’t be as special anymore. So what do you think? Which idea here is more scandalous for you? Email me. :D I have a tip for you, to tell if a transgender is originally a boy, observe her hands or feet, do they resemble a man’s hands or feet? Because you know what, a boy can change his private part to the opposite sex, but would be scared to have an operation of the bones in his hands or feet. Oh no, Oh yes, maybe the knuckles are getting altered by hormone pills, i do hope so for the contentment of users and success of medicine :D
The following paintings are part of „The Enlightenment“ painting in progress. Finally, the most scandalous?

"The Lady Boy" 150x100cm acrylic on canvas by Helenna Jouja
Cope’s “Maiden Meditation” in the 19th Century, painting by Helenna Jouja, Filipina-Canadian international modern artist in Vienna, Europe. I love this 100x80 painting and agree with the critics that it’s beautiful and impressive in its touching simplicity but extremely stiff and formal. The model was derived from the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament: I will greatly rejoice in the Lord...; for He hath clothed me with a robe of righteousness. Thanks for the likes and for sharing 🥰🥰🥰 The big news is that this painting will be featured in a popular Austrian art magazine soon! 😀
