"Inner voice"

"Inner voice" - Original painting by Shirly Maimon

The Story Behind the Painting

Amidst all the noise that surrounds us—opinions, advice, social expectations—there is one voice that remains constant, gentle, almost imperceptible. The inner voice. It does not argue, does not shout, does not strive to explain. It simply exists, waiting for us to give it space.

This painting was born from the understanding that in order to hear ourselves, we must create room. We must allow things to become clear, to make space for breath. Just like in this piece—not everything is filled, not everything is overwhelming. There are layers of color resting upon one another, but also open areas where air flows freely, where things remain spacious and unrestrained.

These spaces are just as important as the color itself. Like the silence between words, like the pauses between thoughts. They remind us that sometimes, clarity arises precisely when we stop filling ourselves with external noise. Those moments, when something becomes clear effortlessly, are like the open spaces in the painting—not empty, but full of potential.

We are used to listening to what is spoken aloud, to what is dictated from the outside. But what happens when we pause? When we turn our gaze inward, to the place where things are truly born? When we make room for what has yet to be said?

This painting does not seek to define or provide rigid answers. It allows. It allows the colors to move naturally, the layers to appear and disappear, the emotions to shift and evolve. Like life itself, it breathes, transforms, and unfolds. And as we look at it, perhaps something within us also opens—a space to listen, to feel, and to let our inner voice lead the way.
