This painting was born from a moment of absolute distress, an instant in which the soul seemed lost in the shadow of torment. These are the moments when anguish consumes us, when hope becomes a distant whisper, and the weight of existence presses upon us. In despair, a dialogue emerges between the deepest parts of our being and our Creator: "Why are you downcast, O my soul, and why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence. My God, my soul is cast down within me." (Psalm 42:5-6).
The creative process reflected that fragmented state of consciousness. There was no planning, no absolute control over technique—only the urgent need to externalize the pain, to let the canvas become a witness and confidant to an internal struggle that could not be expressed in words. The painting emerged from a place of disconnection, as if it were not my hand guiding the brush, but the very torment manifesting itself through me.
The atmosphere of the work is a true mirror of that sentiment: the face, submerged in a blend of light and shadow, reflects the ebb and flow between despair and faith, between doubt and the search for solace. The gaze, intense and profound, carries the echo of a question that resonates in the deepest parts of the soul. The texture and contrasts of color add a tangible emotional weight—this is not merely an image but a confession, a silent plea, a surrender to emptiness and hope simultaneously.
It is an indelible mark of an utterly vulnerable moment. A testimony to the battle between anguish and faith, a reflection of the soul that, even in its sorrow, seeks the light that cannot be extinguished.
