“Silent Echoes”
Original Oil Pastel by Ms Bella St John.
In “Silent Echoes,” a solitary figure stands in shallow water at sunset, her white dress catching the fading light as it reflects across the still surface. With her back turned and hands gently lowered, she appears both rooted and reaching – drawn toward something felt but unseen.
The golden hues of the sky bleed softly into the lake, wrapping the scene in warmth and stillness. Trees line the far edge like silent witnesses, their reflections blurred, as though time itself has paused. The woman’s form is graceful, serene, and quietly powerful, inviting the viewer to step into the space between thought and feeling.
This piece speaks in whispers. It captures that sacred moment between letting go and moving forward, between remembering and imagining. “Silent Echoes” is a meditation on stillness, memory, and the quiet strength of presence.
