Original painting by the artist Shirly Maimon.
The Story Behind the Painting
The canvas was ready, my hands held the colors
but there was one color that insisted on taking the lead: turquoise.
It immediately claimed center stage, spreading across the surface like a deep sea, constantly shifting its mood.
I knew this wouldn’t be a typical painting.
It was a journey through states — emotions, thoughts, internal processes — all blending and unfolding in layered colors.
Turquoise, for me, represented the transitions between different inner states.
At times, it was soft and pale, almost translucent — like moments of calm and peace.
Other times, it grew darker, deeper, like a vast emotional depth not always easy to dive into.
And yet, turquoise held everything together
it carried a sense of ongoing movement, like waves rising and falling.
It symbolized emotional shifts — sometimes tranquil, sometimes stormy — but always present.
The abstract forms connected in unexpected ways,
just like life itself — uncontrollable, full of surprises and transitions.
This painting tells a story of changing inner landscapes —
moments of strength and tenderness, anger and joy, stillness and turbulence.
Every color, every shape in this work is part of that journey —
a reflection of the human experience.
And turquoise is the thread that weaves it all together in abstract harmony.
