Silence

Silence is a deeply personal breakthrough piece — a painting born from a moment of inner shift, when confidence returned and clarity found its way through the noise. Inspired by listening to The Sound of Silence by Disturbed, the painting echoes the emotional arc of the music: quiet beginnings, rising intensity, and an eventual release of light.

Soft passages of violet, blush, and ember-like warmth dissolve into bold sweeps of white, creating a visceral sense of emergence. Areas of darkness hum beneath the surface, while cuts of light break through like truth finding its voice. The layered textures suggest both fragility and strength — the kind of strength that arrives after choosing to rise.

This work marks a defining moment in Anita Wood’s acrylic journey, becoming the piece that unlocked a new level of teaching, expression, and trust in her own creative instincts.

Silence is not simply an abstract painting — it is a statement of return, resilience, and the quiet power that lives beneath every transformation.
