Whispers of Stillness is a mixed media artwork that reflects both serenity and transformation. It portrays a plus-size woman with warm brown skin, her eyes gently closed as if listening to an inner voice. She is surrounded by blooming hydrangeas and butterflies, symbols that whisper stories of growth, healing, and calm. At the center of her chest, a yellow butterfly with white dots and soft blue accents becomes a symbol of resilience and light.
This piece is part of the Echoes of Serenity collection, created during a moment of introspection. The closed eyes are not only about rest but also about connection with essence. Through her, I invite you to pause, breathe, and remember that serenity leaves traces even in challenging times.

The creative process shaped this vision step by step. I began with collage, adding fragments that remain visible within the final layers. Then I built texture with gesso, allowing the surface to carry depth. Water-activated powders brought movement, flowing freely across the canvas. From there, hydrangeas, butterflies, and the woman herself took shape with acrylic paint. Finally, oil details added softness and harmony to complete the portrait.
This painting holds a personal truth for me: art is a way of finding calm. With every brushstroke, I learn that stillness is not silence but presence. Hydrangeas symbolize heartfelt understanding, while butterflies embody transformation. Together, they frame a woman deeply rooted in both vulnerability and strength.
Whispers of Stillness is more than an artwork; it is an invitation. May it remind you that beauty often blooms in quiet moments, and serenity can guide you through every stage of life.
