"WATCHING THE SILENCE" By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 40x40 cm 

Description: This evocative abstract work features a dreamlike composition dominated by eye-shaped and circular forms, scattered across a moody background of stormy grays, cool blues, and earthy greens. These floating shapes resemble eyes or cosmic orbs, each uniquely colored and texturally distinct, as if observing from another dimension or consciousness.

The background is a rich blend of smoky textures, where light and shadow blur, suggesting depth and uncertainty. Areas of lime green, muted purples, and deep indigo intermingle with wisps of white and olive, giving the impression of fog, underwater haze, or even a metaphysical space.

The lower left features a strong signature in yellow, grounding the piece subtly amid the more ethereal upper space. Splashes of red, turquoise, and teal animate the "eyes," giving them personality and emotion—some appear alert, others introspective, almost melancholic.
