Hi my friends πŸ«‚πŸŽ¨πŸ§‘ I need to tell you something I haven't said clearly before. image For months now, I've been working on something larger than individual paintings. A project in four movements: image SILENCE AMONG THE CLOUDS ☁️ β€” complete (4 paintings) image SILENCE AMONG THE FLOWERS 🌸 β€” complete (4 paintings) image SILENCE AMONG THE WAVES 🌊 β€” just completed (4 paintings) image SILENCE AMONG THE SILENCES πŸ”² β€” coming (4 paintings) 16 paintings. 4 quartets. One question that keeps evolving: *What does silence look like?* I started with clouds β€” the silence of things that drift and dissolve. Then flowers β€” the silence of fragility, of bloom and fade. Now waves β€” the silence that remains beneath restless motion. And finally, silences β€” plural, abstract, unbound. The first three quartets are 20Γ—20cm. Contained. Held in a square frame. But the last quartet breaks free: **20Γ—25cm**. Because when you strip away clouds, flowers, waves β€” when you're left with silence facing silence β€” the square can no longer hold it. It needs to rise... This is what I'm building. This is the my cathedral. πŸ”² Now you have the whole structure. Now you know where it's going. πŸ”² Available works here πŸ‘‡: #art #artstr #painting #isolabellart

The skies as backdrops to your life β€” I love that. That's exactly what I was trying to capture. Not the sky itself, but what it does to the space around us. The volume in silence. Sounds like CLOUDS might be your movement.
Thank you πŸ™ THE PROMISE β€” the first of the Clouds quartet. That subtle rainbow is what happens when light filters through moisture just before a storm... in waiting thunder. The moment when the sky holds both. Glad it spoke to you.

Perhaps there are more important things, but it is your steps that give birth to beauty.
