"Intuitive Motion"
Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
Sometimes the body is silent, but inside — everything is happening.
There are emotions, thoughts, questions — without words.
That's exactly where this painting began.
I chose to paint with my left hand — my non-dominant hand.
The one that doesn’t try to control, that isn’t used to leading.
I wanted to feel what happens when I let go.
When the body doesn’t “know how,” but the soul knows perfectly well.
The left hand doesn’t argue. It doesn’t correct.
It simply listens to what wants to come through and lets it flow onto the canvas.
No judgment, no planning, no explanations.
This painting isn’t a result of thought — it’s movement.
An intuitive motion that seeks to feel, not to understand.
And sometimes, it’s in that unfamiliar, uncertain place —
that a quiet, clear truth appears.
This wasn’t just a creative process.
It was deep listening.
A gentle permission to that part of me that just wants to be.
And when that part is given space — everything falls into place, even if nothing gets “fixed.”
That’s perhaps the real power of intuition:
It doesn’t need answers.
It just needs to be heard.
This painting is an invitation to pause, to set logic aside — and to remember that within us lives another kind of knowing. Quiet. Deep. True.
