Silence Has a Home

There is a kind of silence that is not empty, but full — a silence that softens the breath, steadies the heart, and invites us back to ourselves.
This painting was created slowly, layer by layer, without hurry. It was not made to be loud, but to hold space.

The woman stands in quiet presence, her eyes closed in inward listening.
The dove becomes both messenger and mirror — a symbol of peace that does not simply pass through, but rests where it feels safe.
Soft textures, muted light, and gentle transitions of color create an atmosphere of interior calm, where emotion lives without noise.

This piece is an ode to stillness as a form of strength — not withdrawal, but deep return.
It carries the reminder that peace is not something we must chase in the outer world,
but something we learn to re-discover within.
