Silence intérieur – Maraé, 100 × 140 cm, acrylic on canvas This work depicts an intimate female figure turned inward, wrapped in ornamental patterns and warm, golden tones. The closed posture and gentle gesture suggest introspection, vulnerability, and emotional shelter. Decorative elements surrounding the figure create a quiet tension between ornament and emotion, surface and depth. The painting speaks about inner silence, protection, and the fragile strength found in moments of withdrawal and self-connection. Maraé is a Viennese contemporary artist, aged 52, whose lifelong passion for painting has now evolved into a desire to share her work with the world. A self-taught visionary, she has devoted years to perfecting her craft, creating bold, thought-provoking pieces that blend emotion with modern artistic techniques. Until recently, she painted purely for her own joy — but now, she invites collectors and art lovers to experience her work firsthand. Maraé has hand-signed the painting discreetly on the back side of the canvas. Each piece is accompanied by an Authenticity Certificate, ensuring its provenance and originality. The painting will be shipped rolled in a secure, protective art tube, ensuring its safety and making shipping more cost-effective and eco-friendly. The canvas includes an extra 5 cm border on each side, allowing for easy re-stretching onto a frame of up to 2 cm thickness.
