This piece explores refuge after conflict. A solitary figure drifts above the world, playing a harp not to dominate, but to preserve what remains unbroken. Surrounded by light and rising clouds, Elaria inhabits a space where noise fades and memory softens. This is not escape, but arrival, a quiet sanctuary formed in response to chaos below. Rendered with layered oil and tactile impasto, hope is given physical presence, felt through weight and texture rather than color alone.
The Narrative: A meditation on serenity, endurance, and the dignity of survival.
The Medium: Oil on canvas, executed with layered paint and pronounced impasto.
