OIL CANVAS

BEFORE THE WORD BROKE

Kazuo Takanashi

There was once a word I needed to say. I almost did. This is what remained. The form resembles kanji, but means nothing. It is a letter sent but never received. I painted it not to say something—but to let go of saying. It is not a symbol. It is the silence that survives a symbol.

TOUR EIFFEL EN BRUME (II)

Élise Moreau

It was morning, but I hadn’t opened the curtains. I lit two candles instead—silent, flickering witnesses to the sleeping city outside. The fog had drawn its curtain too, but left just enough space for the Eiffel Tower to appear like a memory refusing to disappear. There was no music. Just the sound of wax softening, and of light moving carefully across the table. I painted what I could not speak: that feeling of being held by quiet, and watched by something far older than monuments.

VERDE PROFONDO

Chiara Bellini

Green has always symbolized rebirth and nobility. In this piece, I explore the duality between fragility and strength — a figure who could be both queen and rebel.

CONTOUR OF SILENCE

Otto Gräfenberg

Emotions, once buried, don't vanish. They shift and stack like sediment. This topographic terrain is not of land — but of the layered weight of silence.

FORM BEFORE MEANING

Kazuo Takanashi

I do not remember the movement that made this. I only remember the breath before it, and the silence after. The ink did not fall. It leapt. This shape is not a gesture—it is what remains after one. It is the evidence of decision, not the decision itself. There are no corrections here. Only permission.
