Chosen Solitude

Being alone is not the same as being lonely. Chosen Solitude brings together paintings about the silence a person chooses — for rest, for reflection, or simply to be.

Solitude without sadness is about calm and unhurried self-confidence. No one interrupted being… is peace in solitude, The world is bigger than me is humble awe, and A night of reflection carries the seriousness of a choice. In I am not lost, only hiding solitude becomes gentle self-preservation.

These paintings suit a quiet room, a reading corner or anyone who protects their own silence. Each one has its own page with the story behind it; some are also available as canvas prints.
