Original artwork description:

“This work is about the silence within a person — that quiet moment when the eyes close not from fatigue, but from the need to look inward.

The girl in the painting is not a portrait, not a model. She’s a symbol — a collective image of those who have ever searched for answers not outside, but within themselves.

She holds a golden fish in her hands — not a fairy tale creature, but a personal, internal one. It has a human face because our wishes always carry a reflection of ourselves.

I gave her three hands — deliberately. It’s a reference to three wishes, but also to the difficulty of choosing: what matters most — the material, the spiritual, or something else, something unspoken and not yet understood?

The painting is expressive, with intentionally uneven lines and a vivid, almost theatrical color palette. Because desires are rarely calm and smooth — they burn, they pulse, they demand to be heard.

In this piece, I tried to capture a single moment: just before the wish is spoken. That moment holds everything — hope, fear, and belief in a miracle.

For me, this is not just a subject — it’s a state of being.”
