ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Ataraxia is a term derived from Greek philosophy, particularly from the teachings of Epicurus and the Hellenistic school of thought. It refers to a state of serene calmness, tranquility, and freedom from disturbance. In essence, ataraxia is the attainment of inner peace and contentment, where one is unperturbed by external circumstances or emotional turmoil. The pursuit of ataraxia is often associated with philosophical practices aimed at achieving a balanced and harmonious life. This might involve cultivating self-awareness, practicing mindfulness, and developing a mindset that is resilient to the ups and downs of life. Epicurus, for example, believed that ataraxia could be attained through the pursuit of pleasure (not to be confused with hedonism in its modern sense), by satisfying basic needs and desires in moderation, and by cultivating virtuous friendships and meaningful relationships. In Stoic philosophy, a similar concept known as "apatheia" or "ataraxia" was also valued. Stoics believed in achieving inner peace by accepting the natural order of the universe, focusing on what is within their control, and letting go of attachments to external outcomes. Overall, ataraxia represents a state of psychological well-being and equanimity that arises from a philosophical attitude towards life, characterized by acceptance, moderation, and a sense of inner harmony.
