Stillness captures a moment of complete presence and quiet reflection.

With closed eyes and water flowing gently across the subject’s face and hands, the portrait creates a sense of calm that contrasts with the pace of everyday life. The composition invites the viewer to pause, breathe and reconnect with a quieter inner space.

Created in charcoal on Bristol paper, the artwork focuses on subtle tonal transitions, delicate textures and the interplay between water and skin. These elements work together to create a feeling of serenity and emotional depth.

Rather than portraying action, Stillness celebrates the value of silence, mindfulness and the strength that can be found in moments of stillness.
