Do You Speak My Silence by Achintya

3x4 ft, Oil on canvas

ABOUT THE PAINTING:

This painting came to me as a visual translation of a persistent longing — the search for understanding; a plea for someone who understands not only the language that we speak but also the silences we keep, who can read the unsaid like a second tongue. It touches on the unease that runs beneath our lives, the moments when the weight of being makes itself felt, and we find ourselves left with the quiet of a universe that doesn’t always offer easy answers. The painting holds that struggle, and the way we reach for moments of clarity, only to often see them fade like mist.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

As an artist, my work exists at the intersection of storytelling and visual expression, moving across murals, painting, animation, illustration, writing, and performance. Drawn to the language of gesture and movement, I explore the emotions that bind us—the solitude in crowds, the quiet tensions of shared spaces—and how personal moments can resonate collectively.
