The Story of a Soul

Toomas Pikhof’s painting *The Story of a Soul* is a journey narrated by one soul to another – in silence, without words, through colour and movement. This painting takes the viewer on a journey that does not follow landscapes or city streets, but leads to the heights of the human inner world.

The painting is a visual reflection of states of mind that are difficult to put into words – doubt and clarity, calm and storm, expectations and liberation. Abstract forms and flowing colours create a sense of movement reminiscent of the flow of thoughts, feelings and memories. Dark layers allude to the unconscious and forgotten, whilst lighter tones signal understanding and awakening.
