Soft silence, 2022

Tetiana Borys  

The series "Dissonance of Softness" consists of five paintings: "Soft Silence," "Soft Solitude," "Soft Maturity," "Soft Fragility," and "Soft Indecision." The word "softness" does not resolve the issue of human dissonance, where people so often seek meaning in spiritual growth. On the contrary, with the knowledge of adulthood, they stand at a crossroads in search of themselves.
Silence – I need silence and vast space to hear myself and be able to listen to others. Because there are days when it seems like I can't hear anyone anymore. Verbosity covers my heart like a block. And then I fill myself with art, I paint a lot.And, only the fingers can speak, while the soul turns off its volume until a new level of sound signal is filled. In silence, I listen to the other, the conversation, the event that surrounds us. Eventually, I become a space for someone's words, emotions, and experiences.
This is one of my favorite series of works. Each painting complements the other. The series is like a joint conversation with other people.
After purchasing the painting, I carefully pack it in transparent film to prevent moisture from entering. Then in foam plastic. On top is packaging cardboard.
