ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Whispers of the Soul" is an impasto acrylic painting on canvas featuring a young African boy set against a monochrome backdrop. With his two eyes closed, the boy exudes a sense of deep introspection and meditation. Two straight stripe lines on his face add an intriguing dynamic to the composition. The painting's symbolism lies in the closed eyes, representing inner contemplation, while the stripes may allude to the duality of human existence or the boy's personal journey. The painting captures the viewer's attention by inviting them to explore the hidden realms of the soul. The monochrome background emphasizes the boy's individuality and uniqueness, while the closed eyes suggest a profound connection to the inner self. The two stripe lines on his face contribute to the painting's symbolism, evoking notions of duality and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
