Slow To Speak

Description

The work “Slow to Speak” explores the quiet power found in restraint and careful consideration. The figure emerges from a rich tapestry of foliage, her face partially obscured by a vibrant, oversized green leaf held deliberately to her mouth. This simple act is not one of silence, but of measured pause, suggesting that true wisdom lies in listening and absorbing the world before offering a voice.

This painting celebrates the idea that thought is a sanctuary. The bright, intense color palette—especially the electric blue eyes—draws attention to the internal world, implying a depth of perception gained through patience. “Slow to Speak” is an invitation to value the moment before the word, honoring the internal process where clarity and truth are quietly nurtured.
