ORIGINAL ARTWORK
Mixed Media on Canvas
40" x 50" x 1.875 "
Hangs vertically and horizontally.
In Silence Follows, a hush seems to settle across the canvas—like the stillness that lingers after a rainfall or the quiet between waves. Deep blues drift together in smooth gradients, while delicate gold detailing ripples through the composition like traces of memory. The painting carries a sense of movement suspended, where water and sky blur into a tranquil hush. It invites viewers into a space of calm reflection—where silence is not empty, but full of presence.
This 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas has silver painted edges. Wired and ready to hang this original is signed and dated on the back.

From the studio
“I can fall madly in love with the sparkle from the edge of a gold glass vase, or obsess over the texture of a stone found along a walk. As a way to hold onto these bits of beauty, I started creating art.”
— Julia Contacessi
