Core of being

Core of Being explores presence stripped to its quietest truth. No excess. No gesture. Just a centered weight—rooted, private, intact. The composition circles around an internal gravity, pulling everything inward. What appears soft is unyielding. What feels silent holds force.

Rendered in oil on a 30×40 inch canvas, the painting carries warmth without comfort. Deep reds and muted shadows flow across the surface, wrapping a central form that seems both hidden and unmovable. There is no face, no clear identity. Only essence. The suggestion of someone—or something—fully present within their own skin.

This piece doesn’t demand space. It defines it. Core of Being works in solitude: study walls, quiet corners, places made for stillness. Its restraint is not emptiness—it’s intention.

Arrives gallery-wrapped and ready to hang. Custom size or tonal variations available on request.

For those who seek to surround themselves with work that listens before it speaks—Core of Being waits without drifting. It remains.
