Hug

 “Hug”- Art Print by Shirly Maimon

The Story Behind the Painting

Sometimes, a hug says more than a thousand words.
We don’t always have the right things to say.
Sometimes the weight, the sadness, the loneliness — or just life itself — make it hard to speak.
But the body… knows.
The heart knows.
And one real, present hug can change everything.

This painting speaks to the moment when words fall short.
When what we really need is someone who’s just there.
Not to fix, or explain, or judge.
Just to be.
To hold.
To feel another heart close to yours —
and remember that you’re not alone.

Inside that hug, there’s everything:
quiet listening, acceptance, compassion, love.
It soothes and brings closer, wraps around and allows.
It doesn’t ask questions or set conditions —
just opens its arms and invites you to lay down what you’ve been carrying.

I called this piece "Hug",
because it’s a reminder of the simplest human truth:
the need to be held, loved, and seen —
even without having to explain.
