"Across the border" - Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
This painting symbolizes the crossing of familiar lines, the encounter with the unknown,
and the ability to break free, from both external and internal limitations.
It blends shades of blue, turquoise, and sky tones
evoking images of open seas, wide skies, or a journey to a faraway place that calls for new adventure.
The cool tones create a sense of depth and calm, yet at the same time carry movement and energy.
Touches of gold appear like a path leading forward
a sign of illumination, progress, and transcendence.
Here, gold represents courage, breakthrough, and the discovery of something new and exciting just beyond the horizon.
The composition evokes a sense of motion, as if the path is unfolding and stretching beyond the boundaries we’ve known.
This piece was born from a reflection on the freedom to move forward
to choose to go beyond what’s familiar and comfortable, and to dare to cross the lines we’ve become used to staying within.
It speaks to anyone standing at a crossroads,
anyone who feels on the edge of meaningful change.
It expresses the tension between the fear of taking a leap,
and the longing for expansion and growth.
At first glance, you might see a path winding forward
perhaps toward an unknown place,
but one that quietly invites you to step closer and explore.
This painting is also a reminder:
there is always another path, another direction, another chance to cross over and keep going.
