"Hidden Layers" - Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
The painting “Hidden Layers” was born from a journey inward —
into the unseen spaces of the soul, where memories and emotions reside quietly,
yet are felt with undeniable intensity.
Within the layered composition of the painting, one can sense the movement between revelation and concealment, between light and shadow, and the delicate interplay between them.
The central idea behind this work is to express how life experiences, memories, and emotions build upon one another — layer after layer.
At first glance, it may seem that the top layer tells the whole story,
but a deeper look reveals a rich inner world — full of textures, colors, and details waiting to be uncovered.
The process of creating this piece was deeply intuitive.
With each brushstroke, another layer emerged — moments of growth, feelings of renewal.
I didn’t always know what would arise next, but I trusted the process,
believing that everything would eventually come together in harmony.
The quiet yet present color palette — black, white, and shades of grey in between —
symbolizes the balance between pain and healing, between the old and the new.
“Hidden Layers” invites the viewer to come closer,
to explore and discover the truth beneath the surface —
to realize that even when things appear complex or unclear,
there is a deep beauty within them, patiently waiting to be seen.
