*Ocean of Silence* is a meditative exploration of emotion, depth, and the quiet power of introspection. Painted on a 40 cm × 30 cm canvas, this monochromatic portrait immerses the viewer in a world of blue—where colour becomes a language of feeling, and texture tells the story of inner movement.
The figure emerges from swirling layers of cobalt, navy, and cerulean, her face rendered in delicate contrast with subtle highlights that suggest both presence and mystery. Her eyes are closed, lips slightly parted—caught in a moment of breath, of release, of surrender. The brushwork is bold and expressive, built with thick impasto and dynamic strokes that mimic the flow of water, wind, or memory. Every mark feels intentional, like waves crashing against an unseen shore.
I created this piece not to depict a person, but to evoke a state—a deep, emotional current beneath the surface. Blue here is not just a colour; it’s a mood: calm, melancholy, vast, eternal. It speaks of solitude, clarity, healing, and the quiet strength found in stillness. The figure seems to be both emerging from and dissolving into the paint—a duality between form and fluidity, identity and oblivion.
*Ocean of Silence* is about listening to what isn’t said, feeling what isn’t shown, and finding peace in the depths. It’s a tribute to the soul that moves quietly, yet carries the weight of the world within.
