"The Power of Tranquillity" captures the deep, quiet self-awareness expressed in the portrait. The artwork shows a woman enveloped in warm, earthy tones and a cloak that exudes both protection and mystery. Her gaze is intense, but not compelling-rather open and present. She does not look through you, but at you, in a way that invites calm and attention.
Her countenance exudes a quiet dignity. In the soft shadows of her skin and the subtle gleam in her eyes, there is a kind of inner calm that is not passive, but powerful. It is the calm of someone firmly rooted in her own being; not drowned out by external chaos. This calm is not a silence that is empty, but one that is filled with strength, experience and wisdom.
The warm colours and flowing lines reinforce this feeling. They suggest softness, but at the same time an unwavering presence-as if nothing can unsettle her. The cloak enveloping her seems almost like a cocoon, a symbol of protection and inner security.
"The Power of Tranquillity" thus refers to the tremendous energy found when a person is fully present in the moment. Not screaming, not pushing, but simply being. It is a portrait that shows that rest is not an absence of power, but rather a form of it-a quiet, deep power that radiates from within.
