a watercolor series by Advay Mengle

Hearts and Minds is an ongoing watercolor series on paper that occasionally integrates with other media including collage and acrylic. Started in 2025 as an off-shoot of my physics-inspired The Standard Model series, Hearts and Minds has grown into its own story of the oft-clashing, sometimes-allying abstract multi-color civilization, with each hue developing a different personality throughout the narrative.
