About the artwork

This painting captures a beautiful moment of inner silence: a young monk in deep meditation, cloaked in warm orange and earth tones. The coarse brushstrokes give the work a lively texture, while the closed eyes and relaxed pose exude serenity. A unique feature is the subtle incidence of light on the face and the soft transition between background and figure, making the image seem almost to breathe. This work brings a warm, calm atmosphere into the home. Perfect for those who cherish peace, spirituality and reflection. Ideal for interiors where balance and contemplation are key, or for lovers of Asian culture and mindfulness.

People have always intrigued me in all their diversity, strength and vulnerability. My travels to countries such as Africa, Bali, Australia, Dubai and Nepal, among others, have also left a lasting impression. Every face I create carries something from that journey: a memory, an emotion, a story. Encounters with other cultures and customs have broadened my outlook and enriched my heart. Those experiences are the source of inspiration for this portrait, and for all the others.

The basis of this work was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), which acted as a digital sketch assistant. The painting was brought to life with thick layers of acrylic paint, so that the portrait really seems to jump off the canvas.
