The Color of Silence, 2026

Martsi (Nataliia Martsilenko)  

From the series “Infinity Map”

We all journey through our own inner world. Along the way, we encounter images that cannot be explained literally. They may evoke fear, hope, strength, tenderness, or memory. For each of us, they take on a different meaning.
The Color of Silence is a fragment of this inner journey. The painting does not offer definitive answers, but invites the viewer to look more closely at the images that already exist within us. Perhaps it simply helps us notice something that has long been waiting to be encountered.

The work is created in acrylic on canvas. The combination of painterly forms, color, and semi-abstract space creates a distinctive atmosphere in which reality gradually intertwines with imagination.
The painting is created on canvas stretched over a wooden stretcher frame, measuring 35 × 35 cm (13.8 × 13.8 in). The surface is protected with a coat of varnish, helping preserve the depth and vibrancy of the colors over time.
