Silence in the ocean

Silence in the ocean is not emptiness. Its the kind of stillness that presses in from all sides and holds you at the same time. Deep, alive, full.

The lavender background is the depth where light doesnt reach. But inside it - orange like a sudden current, pink like bioluminescence in the dark, red like something ancient that has always lived there. Silence here doesnt mean peace. It means - everything is alive, just unheard.

This painting is about that particular state when you dive deep enough that the outside world disappears. Only you and whats within. And it turns out - its not quiet in there at all.
