Breath 1
This painting is part of the "BEHIND" series, where emotions are conveyed through the subtle language of the body. The figures are shown from behind to draw attention to the lines of the silhouette, the tension in the muscles, and the small gestures—often capable of expressing more than words. The back, typically seen as a symbol of vulnerability and weakness, here becomes a sign of courage and a metaphor for trust in the world and its intentions.
On the canvas, we see a woman seated on a simple wooden chair. Her head is turned toward an unseen space, her arms relaxed and gently lowered, suggesting a moment of calm and introspection. A soft palette of whites, blues, and browns creates a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. Light outlines the shape of her body, emphasizing the warm tone of her skin against the cool background—intensifying the sense of stillness and quiet.
The creator of the series is an acclaimed industrial designer who, both in art and in design, seeks harmony between form and meaning. He believes that our bodies can express emotions as loudly as a scream or as softly as a whisper.
"Breath" symbolizes that brief pause between inhale and exhale. A moment where internal tension finds release in silence—a quiet space in which we can reconnect with our own thoughts and emotions. The painting invites personal interpretation and reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful insights come when we simply sit still, turn away from the noise, and listen to what truly breathes within us.
