Description

Silent Story is an intimate, close view of a woman’s eyes rendered in soft neutral, amber, and warm orange tones. The scale invites proximity, encouraging the viewer to linger rather than simply look. There is no full portrait here, only a moment of quiet connection.

This work is about introspection. The gaze is open but reserved, leaving space for interpretation. As you look into her eyes, you may begin to wonder about her story and whether parts of it echo your own. The piece does not offer answers. Instead, it allows room for reflection and personal meaning to surface.

Because of its horizontal format and gentle warmth, Silent Story works well in quieter areas of the home such as a reading corner, hallway, bedroom, or above a small console or desk. It brings presence without demanding attention and rewards repeated viewing over time.

Living with the Work

This is a piece created for close viewing. Its strength lies in subtlety and emotional resonance rather than scale or drama. It suits spaces where you pause, reflect, or pass through slowly, becoming more familiar the longer it is part of your home.

All original artwork is sold unframed. If you would like your piece framed and ready to hang upon arrival, you may select the framing option above. Framing is professionally completed using archival materials, and I will personally liaise with you to select a frame that complements both the work and your space.
