This painting is a love letter to silence — the kind you only find when you're alone with the ocean. I painted this girl not as a portrait of a specific person, but as a reflection of anyone who has ever needed to pause, breathe, and listen to the waves. Her back turned, knees tucked, hair swept by the wind — she’s fully present, yet entirely unreachable.
I chose a soft, pastel palette to emphasize calmness and warmth, letting the colors blur the line between sea and sky, dream and memory. The oversized hat and loose blouse create a gentle contrast with the vastness around her. It’s not about loneliness — it’s about solitude as sanctuary.
This is a moment of peace. A pause between chapters. A quiet, sun-drenched reminder that sometimes, just being still is enough.
