In this small-scale painting, the artist boldly juxtaposes two distinct visual registers: on the left, a domestic scene in which a woman stands alone in a red kitchen, her gaze lowered and her hands clasped; on the right, a close-up of a man’s face, absorbed in silent introspection. This implicit diptych creates a tension between physical proximity and emotional distance.

The title, Nos silences (Our Silences), sheds light on this suspended encounter, where words seem absent yet emotions rise to the surface. Through this fragmented composition, the artist explores unspoken communication and the fractures within intimate relationships.

The painterly treatment alternates between graphic stylization and more expressive variations, heightening the psychological intensity of the scene. The intimate scale of the work invites a close, personal reading, echoing the sensitivity of its subject matter.
