"Silent Ecstasy" (2025)Acrylic painting
by Helena Wierzbicki

"Silent Ecstasy" is a vivid and emotive portrait where color and emotion meet in harmony. The closed eyes suggest surrender and serenity, while the bold palette of oranges, purples, and blues radiates passion and energy. This expressive artwork invites viewers to connect with their own inner world...

"Silent Ecstasy" was inspired by my desire to capture the unspoken intensity that lives within us when we surrender to feeling. I painted this portrait with eyes closed to suggest that true emotion often happens inwardly, beyond words or expression. The fiery warmth of oranges and yellows collides with the cool calm of blues and purples, reflecting the dual nature of ecstasy — both passion and serenity, both fire and stillness. Through bold color contrasts and expressive brushwork, I wanted to reveal not just a face, but an inner landscape — a moment where silence transforms into pure emotion.
