Tears of Silence

‘Tears of Silence’ is a visual representation of inner suffering – of that which remains unexpressed, unspoken, in the shadows. The painting speaks of pain that accumulates over time into silence, eventually becoming so dense and heavy that it begins to push itself out – not as words, but as tears. These are not visible to the world, but flow within you.

The painting speaks not only of suffering, but also of how lonely pain is when no one can see it. ‘Tears of Silence’ is a psychological portrait of a person whose inner world has been silent for too long – and whose pain has its own shape, its own colour and, ultimately, its own voice.
