Held Breath

This painting captures the eye with its striking contrast — a meditating figure in the foreground radiates calm and focus, while flames rage in the distance. Smoke rising over the horizon evokes a sense of unease, yet also reflection. The bright colors of the clothing clash with the dramatic sky, heightening the tension between the inner world and external reality. The work poses a powerful question: How do we preserve inner peace when everything around us is burning? This question resonates deeply today — in the context of the war in Ukraine — as daily life is torn between destruction and resilience. This is more than a painting. It’s an invitation to pause. To feel. To ask yourself: Where am I — on the side of fire, or of silence? Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam and Italian fine-grained cotton canvas tm Unico were used in the work.
