True silence is not an absence or lack but rather a dynamic power.  There is a movement of will or energy within profound silence, which is why this painting is almost like travelling rapidly and looking out of the window so that the landscape appears only in a blur, whilst being still (for example on a train journey).  Yet, there is a tranquil silence in the work as well as this motion and this was born out of completing it in a meditative and deeply grateful state of mind.  One of the things Julia Swaby enjoys most about being an artist is being able to work in total silence, if one wants to.

My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
