A soft silence seems to lay itself across the canvas, like a breath that is not audible but palpable. The painting breathes warmth - not the bright heat of life, but the embracing glow of serenity. The world here is composed of shades of brown: deep amber, greying sepia and soft sand, colours reminiscent of earth, wood and old memories slowly fading in the light of morning.
The face, with eyes closed, does not seem to be sleeping but resting in complete surrender. The shadows kiss the contours of the skin, while the brushstrokes flow into each other, as if each stroke is a sigh, a movement between letting go and staying. The brown tones give the composition a tangible warmth, a human closeness - as if silence itself has become skin.
There is no rush, no sound, no tension. Only the gentle movement of time standing still for a moment. The Breath of Calm captures that rare moment when inner peace need not be sought - it is already there, in the air, in the colour, in the breath.
The work evokes a sense of slowing down, as if the viewer is invited to breathe with it, to sink into the hues of the canvas, to disappear for a moment into the peace that embraces everything. Modern Abstract. Faded.
