About the artwork

Within the Wave of Silence, a hushed movement unfolds, composed of layers that hardly seem to want to speak. The abstract white wave, formed with textured paper and oil, suggests a gentle force - something moving without direction, like a thought slowly fading into the distance.

The background is off-white, quiet but not empty. Cream, beige and gold lurk through the work in thin, layered movements. These colours subtly break open the white, like light filtered through mist. A visual breath is created, in which calm and tension alternate.

The sharp edges of the paper contrast with the flowing curves in the middle. Nothing is completely taut or completely released. The wave seems to rest in its own cadence - not captured, but preserved.

What is visible tells only part of the story. At least as much takes place in the space in between: between form and emptiness, between colour and silence, between looking and feeling. The work does not force anything, but invites you to stand still. To pay attention.

Gold accents give just enough direction to the eye without leading it. Everything moves slowly, and nothing rushes.

Within the Wave of Silence is not a snapshot, but a state. Not a wave of water, but of presence. Of what comes, stays, and disappears again - without words, without sound.
