And here we see a superb and authentic piece of contemporary art: Notice how not only the emotions of the viewer are shown here but also the ones of the painter, as we see happiness from one side, and a slight touch of sadness on another, hence the use of various types of characters.
Also, if you look closely, you can also notice the snowflakes were not only placed there on purpose, but also SHAPED like that on purpose. Just look very closely and try to take it all in... Those snowflakes give out not only the feelings of slowness and lightness, but also melancholy and sadness, as they know they are going to fall towards their doom.
There is also a sense of freedom represented here by the use of shapes in order to represent flying. Clearly we don't know exactly what the painter was trying to say with this. Was he talking about himself? Or is it very elaborate criticism towards the society we live in nowadays?
