About the artwork

"Whisper of Daylight" refers to the silent, almost sacred moment when the light of morning enters a space without making a sound, but still touches everything. In this work, daylight seems not a passive presence, but a soft voice - a whisper that speaks not in words, but in shades, shadows and warmth.

The figure stands half turned away, as if listening to something only she can hear. Her posture is subdued, resting in a transition between waking and dreaming. The light streaming along her face captures subtle details: a lock that has come loose, the gentle curve of her cheeks, the almost hushed breathing. This touch by the light is not a stark contrast, but a fluid transition that softens the boundary between body and environment.

The colours - soft pink in the hair, warm beige tones in the skin, and cool grey-white in the background - combine to form a palette that feels like breath made visible. Everything in this composition seems to speak of vulnerability and a quiet inner world, but without heaviness. Rather, it is the moment when someone is not thinking but feeling, not searching but allowing themselves to be found by the light.

In "Whispers of Daylight", daylight is a companion, a source of comfort and clarity. It invites the viewer to slow down and see the fragile beauty of the moment - a moment in which the light itself seems to whisper, "I am here." Pastel shades. Painting.
