WHITE SHADES - Original painting by Shirly Maimon
The Story Behind the Painting
While working on the painting White Tones, I set out to create a feeling of purity and calm. I wanted to capture the emotional space that exists in stillness — a space where each line and layer speaks of simplicity and serenity.
To me, white symbolizes new beginnings, like a blank page waiting to be filled with stories and experiences. There’s something about white that invites a deep breath, a quiet release, and a gentle return to inner peace.
The brushstrokes and textures are soft, almost invisible, expressing a quiet movement, like the whisper of wind or the subtle touch of light. I added black and brown tones to create contrast, grounding the softness and bringing depth to the stillness.
As I painted, I felt myself disconnecting from the outside world and reconnecting with the small, intimate moments that shape inner peace. The painting became a form of meditation — a visual pause, a quiet space that invites the viewer to simply be, to breathe, and to feel.
White Tones is a reminder that even in what seems empty, the greatest depth can be found. It offers a moment of stillness, reflection, and renewal — and reminds us that the quietest places can hold the most powerful presence.
