"The Power of Quiet" - Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
There comes a moment when you stop chasing recognition.
It doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not out of apathy —
It comes after years of proving, striving, adjusting yourself to fit expectations,
Trying to be “more,”
Trying to be someone you’re not.
And then one day, something soft but firm settles inside you —
You realize:
When you stop trying to impress, you finally connect.
When you no longer raise your voice, people truly listen.
And when you’re simply present, without effort — you are most yourself.
It’s not giving up.
It’s the opposite.
It’s the first time you show up fully — without a mask, without a performance, without needing approval.
That’s a kind of power that doesn’t shout — but it lingers, quietly, long after the noise fades.
This painting holds that kind of quiet.
It doesn’t want to be the first thing you notice.
But it stays. It touches. It surrounds. It’s present.
And its power is exactly that —
To simply be. Honestly.
