Original artwork description:

In Silence is a powerful charcoal drawing that captures an intimate and deeply emotional moment. A woman stands with her head bowed, eyes closed, and hands gently clasped to her lips, while water flows down her skin like whispered thoughts. Her expression is one of introspection — perhaps grief, serenity, or inner strength. The droplets become symbolic, echoing both the vulnerability of exposure and the cleansing quality of silence.

The stark contrast between the soft white tones of her skin and the rich black background intensifies the mood, pulling the viewer into the internal world of the subject.

This work transcends portraiture. It evokes universal emotions: the moments when words fail, and presence becomes the only truth. Whether read as a scene of mourning, resilience, or quiet resolve, In Silence invites reflection and emotional resonance.

This piece speaks to collectors drawn to human vulnerability, minimalist realism, and emotionally charged monochromatic work. It holds space for contemplation and brings a quiet yet powerful presence to any interior.
