Totem Silence

'Totem Silence' is a sculptural portrait of silence - a timeless figure, outlined in black and white, that seems etched in layers of time and memory. His fragmented but solid face conveys strength, mystery and introspection. The gaze is focussed, almost hypnotic, and the geometric shapes - vertical, circular, abruptly cut - evoke ceremonial masks or primitive sculptures. The painting is not a realistic representation, but a spiritual projection: a symbol of the balance between the visible and the invisible, between voice and silence. The background seems textured over the years, like a burnt parchment on which thoughts, rituals, sacred signs have been inscribed. The finely etched details create a subtle dialogue between the figure and the surrounding space - a dense but vivid stillness. Part of the Africa collection, 'Totem Silence' is a work that brings an archetypal force into contemporary space. It does not speak but inspires. It does not describe but evokes. It is a profound presence that transforms the place where it is placed into a modern shrine of introspection.
