"Whisper" by Namira B. in Dubai

Unlike all my other paintings, this one stands out in its dark theme and serene colors. That is because this is a piece I created when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. In early 2023, I was going through personal struggles, trying to find myself through the chaos of the world we live in. With that, I decided to put whatever I was feeling down onto a canvas. I had no reference images, no pre-defined color palette, but I knew I had a vision to paint what I felt. I started with a background and base colors that represented the current state of how I felt. Surrounding that, I placed some brighter flowers at the very center of the piece - including a small white lily, to portray a light of hope through all the darkness. The piece spoke to my collectors, and I sold the original artwork almost immediately after I had completed it! Till date, it is one of my most loved pieces in my portfolio and on my Instagram. I want the viewer to resonate with it the way it has for me. In difficult times, I want it to bring a ray of hope and light into your life, seeing it hanging up on your wall everyday and give the viewer the hope it emanates.
