“Silence Before Time” Mixed Media

In Silence Before Time, the viewer is invited into a dreamlike world where memory, time, and consciousness intertwine. A woman, eyes closed and crowned with vibrant flowers, rests partially submerged in water—a symbolic threshold between reality and the subconscious. Her delicate gesture, reaching toward the surface, suggests a quiet yearning to hold onto something ephemeral or perhaps to summon it back.

Beneath the water, a weathered clock with Roman numerals drifts, half-lost to time. Though partially obscured, it continues to mark the moments — a haunting reminder that even in stillness, time moves. Surrounded by luminous reflections and organic forms, the boundary between the natural and the surreal dissolves.

This piece explores themes of memory, impermanence, and the emotional resonance of time slipping away. With a rich, emotive color palette and a composition that blends realism with surrealist undertones, Silence Before Time becomes a space for quiet introspection and poetic reflection.
