Legends of supreme world
Mothers of silence
Tempera and acrylic on canvas. 2023. 40 x 40 cm
The Mothers of Silence is an image that stuck in my head after visiting the Jerusalem Museum. There was an ancient mask there, about nine thousand years old. The central image of the picture is inspired by this ancient mask; this face has been in my mind for a long time. In absolute silence and quietness.
Silence and patience are the main female virtues, as some peoples and religious denominations believe. I believe that the feminine origin has been silent for quite a long time and we do not see perfection here in our world. Moreover, even elementary justice.
Therefore, in this picture, women show a sign of silence to their men. Well, those who arranged it all the way it is now.
The faces and colors symbolize the eternal rebirth of life. Mountains in the distance are a symbol of eternity. The position of the hands means silence. The silence that always happens before something especially important.
