The watercolor “Be Silent, Be Still” captures a moment of profound transformation, where the aesthetic and the spiritual intertwine to narrate a passage of emerging serenity. Inspired by Mark 4:39, the work illustrates the moment after Jesus calms the storm, symbolizing the transition from chaos to peace.

The rising sun symbolizes the light of hope and divine revelation, painted with warm tones that contrast with the calming waters. This light illuminates not only the landscape but also the hearts of the disciples, who, astonished, ask themselves, “Who is this…?”

The watercolor technique, with its soft, fluid brushstrokes, reinforces the sense of calm that follows the miracle. The transparency of the colors reflects the fragility and beauty of faith, which is strengthened in the midst of adversity.

The disciples, depicted with simplicity, embody humanity in its quest for understanding and connection with the divine. This moment of awe before the inexplicable invites the viewer to contemplate the power of silence and faith.

As a whole, the work reminds us that in the act of calming our own inner turmoil, we can glimpse the peace that arises from trust in the sacred, thus finding, in stillness, answers to our deepest questions.
