Sofia Girtcius - Where Silence Holds Me, 2023
Original oil and mixed-media painting on canvas. 70 x 50 x 2 cm. Unique artwork.
THE ARTWORK
A pale figure sits with her head inclined, her limbs gathered within sweeping elliptical lines. Ivory, grey and muted pink brushstrokes describe the body, while teal and charcoal deepen the space around her. The face is suggested through a few layered marks, leaving the posture to convey the intimacy of the moment.
The curves travel around the figure and across the canvas, drawing the eye through the composition. They suggest an enclosing space, with small gold-coloured reflective accents catching the light along their paths. Their broad movement contrasts with the figure’s inward attention.
Close viewing reveals the physical character of the painting. Raised strokes give the limbs their direction, while thicker deposits of colour gather beside them. Small touches of yellow, rose and red emerge from the subdued palette. In places, the canvas weave remains visible beneath the paint, adding another rhythm to the surface.
Where Silence Holds Me suggests a private pause within a moving world. The surrounding lines can be read as shelter, thought or the passage of time. Their openness gives the viewer room to find a personal meaning in the scene.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sofia Girtcius is a Latvian artist born in 1990. Her artistic interests encompass classical painting, realism, portraiture and fantasy, alongside nature, literature and nocturnal atmospheres.
In this work, her interest in the human figure meets an expressive handling of paint. Recognisable anatomy emerges through broad gestures, with texture and colour carrying much of the emotion. The gathered posture remains clear even where individual strokes loosen the body’s contours.
