The Weight of Stillness

$250.00

Oil on Canvas
7” x 9”
Her eyes are closed, but the emotions behind them are wide awake. The Weight of Stillness captures a woman suspended in an internal moment - one that may hold sadness, or peace, or something unnamed. The way her hand rests against her face suggests reflection, but also restraint. The stillness in the image is quiet, but not empty; it is heavy with what she’s not saying. Is she grieving or resting? Is this the aftermath of pain - or the calm before it returns? The painting doesn’t answer. Instead, it invites the viewer into the silence - a place where meaning is felt, not declared. With restrained tones and intimate composition, The Weight of Stillness becomes a portrait of emotional ambiguity - and the beautiful, aching pause between feeling and understanding.
