Quiet Loud

This piece explores the distance between thought and gesture, between what we hold back and what we finally choose to own.
Quiet Loud captures that shifting space where silence becomes a choice, where restraint turns into presence.
Nothing here is passive: every line carries the imprint of a decision.
The softness of the face doesn’t soothe the inner movement, it gives it structure.
Beneath the color lies a clear direction: that of a being who asserts itself without display, yet with coherence.

Artist’s Note
This work was born from a reflection on constancy.
Calm is often mistaken for stillness, yet it takes immense strength not to give in to automatism.
Beneath its quiet surface, the portrait pulses.
The gaze is neither passive nor dreamy, it observes before it acts.
Every line holds back a movement, every transparency breathes the restraint of a moment between thought and decision.
To choose becomes a physical act.
And in that act, everything aligns.
