The Sound Of Quiet by Lucinda Leveille is a captivating landscape in portrait orientation, part of the ‘Exploring the Solitary’ series. This artwork invites viewers into a serene, introspective space, where the subtle beauty of solitude is explored. To achieve the textured effect, I employed the 'sgraffito' technique—an ancient method of scratching into the paint to reveal the underlying layers. This adds depth and a tactile dimension to the piece, as light plays off the intricate surface.
Inspired by the words of Khaled Hosseini:
'Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob of life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.'
I hope this painting brings a sense of quiet and peace to your life, a moment of calm amidst the noise of the world.
If you love this artwork but find it doesn’t quite match your space, I am always happy to work on commissions, creating a custom piece tailored to your home. Each commission is a unique collaboration, resulting in something personal and one-of-a-kind.
The painting is signed on the front with my name, ‘Lucinda,’ and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. I use only high-quality materials to ensure the lasting beauty of my work. The piece is on gallery-style stretched canvas, with the colors continuing around the edges, making it ready to hang without the need for framing. However, adding a box frame can enhance its presentation and add an elegant touch.
Your painting will be carefully cocooned in bubble wrap and packed within a sturdy cardboard container, ensuring it arrives safely and ready to bring tranquility to your home.
