Lisbet Cuellar (XX) - Cuando Todo Calla

Oil on canvas
Measurements: 58 x 45 cm

In this work I have sought to explore the most intimate and silent relationship we maintain with ourselves. The figure, portrayed from behind and wrapped in a serene atmosphere, embraces in a gesture that for me symbolizes the need for refuge, acceptance, and inner balance.

I deliberately did not depict the facial expression so that it is the hands and the posture that convey the emotion. That delicate contact on the skin speaks of vulnerability, but also of strength; of the capacity to find calm and solace within oneself.

Through soft light and a purified composition, I have aimed to create a contemplative space where silence takes center stage. More than a portrait, this work is a reflection on introspection and on the beauty that exists in those moments of seal solitude in which, far from the external noise, we reconnect with our own essence.
