A Moment of Connection - Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting🖌️
There is a quiet in this piece that doesn’t arrive by chance. It is a quiet that comes after movement, after searching, after moments when it wasn’t clear where things were going or what was holding them together.
The work is divided into two parts, but not out of separation, rather מתוך דיוק. Two spaces exist side by side, like two inner states within us. One that seeks to soften, to clear, to open, and another that still looks for grounding, for something to lean on, something that can hold the heart.
The white is not just a color, it is a space. A space where things no longer need to be defined, where it’s allowed not to know, where being in between is enough. Within this white, there are subtle marks, almost hidden, like memories or sensations that have passed through us and remained as gentle imprints.
And the green line, quiet yet present, feels like a moment of connection. It doesn’t cut through the piece, it holds it. It doesn’t separate the two worlds, it creates a dialogue between them. At times it feels like a horizon, at times like a root, and sometimes like a breath balancing between rising and grounding.
The space between the two panels may be the most meaningful part. Something happens there that isn’t immediately seen. It is the place where we meet ourselves without words, without definitions, only through feeling. A space where we are invited to notice that perhaps nothing is truly separate.
This piece speaks about that moment where there is no longer a need to hold tightly, and no need to disappear, but rather to allow ourselves to be exactly in between, in a place where quiet is not empty, but deeply present.
