Original artwork description:

In this composition, pulsing with silence and sea breeze, part of the multidisciplinary project Life is Beautiful Without You, a woman appears suspended between light and memory, between answers that no longer come and questions that can no longer be held back. Her hair, swirling like the sea behind her, seems sculpted from thought, the kind that lingers after love has retreated, though never fully vanished.

Her gaze does not seek the viewer but pierces through time, reaching toward an unseen lover, perhaps imagined, yet still alive in memory. “What does love mean to you?” is not posed as an accusation, but as an unfinished equation, spoken with painful clarity.

The sea is not merely background but witness and companion, a promise that from the exposure of the heart, freedom might be reborn. Here, suffering no longer asks to be soothed; it rises, becoming art.

Materials used:

canvas stretched on a wooden frame
