In almost every drawing of North Korea, you can see big smiles on people's faces. North Korean drawings love to portrait people living peacefully and happily, which is very ironic. In reality, their lives are very insecure and sad. Living in poverty without any freedom or rights, and possible to face persecution anytime, how can they be happy?
Not only in paintings, but when they are interviewed by foreign journalists, you can also see them cheerfully bragging about their lives and even how great their leader is. They have no alternatives because if foreigners visit North Korea, they are always followed by local guards who are from government. They show tourists only the things they can show.
Sometimes our facial expressions cannot tell everything, and only those who can read one's heart can understand the whole picture.
