The Have a Nice Day art series might look like a collection of blurred paintings, but each piece is in fact a [digitally distorted image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) of a photo pulled from the Internet. Although other artists have done similar projects like this previously, there is something singular about the use of color and technique that really makes these pieces captivating.

Created by Jennis Li Cheng Tien, the Have a Nice Day art series seems to use a lot of [fashion and runway images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1), which are barely discernible under the [out-of-focus lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) and vibrant hues. I'm sure that this ongoing project will make its way onto the walls of some gallery. Each image is so exquisite and beautiful, I can't see anyone not falling in love with it instantly.
