"Inner Rhythm"- Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
Over the years, I’ve come to understand that we don’t always choose the rhythm of our lives—sometimes, it chooses us. We rush through life, trying to keep up, plan ahead, meet deadlines, set goals and achieve them. But deep inside, there’s another pace. A quieter one. A wiser one. A movement that doesn’t come from pressure, but from inner knowing. An inner rhythm.
That was the rhythm guiding me when I painted this piece. There was no defined concept, no sketch, no plan for where it would end. Just emotional pulse—brushstrokes flowing out of me like heartbeats. Sometimes intense, sometimes soft, always real. It felt like a dance—not a staged one, but the kind you do when no one’s watching. When you're alone with yourself, and you let your feelings take the lead.
This painting is about that. About what happens when we stop fighting the pace of life and start feeling it. When we stop trying to control reality and begin to trust that it’s already aligned—if only we let go for a moment.
Each color here is a movement. Every layer tells a chapter in the journey. At times it looks chaotic, but within the chaos, there’s harmony.
Because our inner rhythm knows. It always has. We just have to be willing to listen.
This painting is an invitation to soften the need for control, to reconnect with your natural pace, and to trust the quiet rhythm that has always been within you. It’s a visual reminder that sometimes the most powerful movement begins not with a plan—but with presence.
