A force you don’t know

A force you don’t know, portrait of a woman connected to her hidden power

 

Thought : Image avec infobulle

Don’t let worry settle in your heart. You have a strength that you don’t know. Take the time to know yourself and realize what treasure is hidden within you.

 

The painting A force you don't know is a horizontal work where serenity and inner power are expressed through the image of a woman immersed in a mystical forest. Although nocturnal, the scene radiates a soft and soothing light, creating an ambiance that is both fantastical and introspective.

The background of the painting features a misty light in multiple shades of blue, ranging from deep blue to light, luminous blue. These tones evoke both the calm of the night and the vastness of buried emotions. A forest is suggested in the background, its ghostly trunks and dense shrubs creating an almost unreal setting, like a border between the tangible and the dreamlike.

Small touches of light—stars or fireflies—punctuate this space, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there are always glimmers of hope. At the center of this relative darkness, a glowing sphere, golden like a moon descended to earth, seems to watch over the scene. Perhaps it is a celestial body, a spiritual guide, or a visual manifestation of the inner strength that resides within the central character.

The foreground is filled with dense and contrasting vegetation. White and black plants intertwine, while threads of the same hues rise to surround the young woman. These elements, resembling entanglements, seem to try and hold her back, materializing the obstacles and fears that sometimes limit our progress.

However, the woman is not intimidated. Her posture is upright, her gaze turned toward the viewer, filled with determination. She seems to say: Nothing can divert me from my path.

The woman is the focal point of the work. Her long black hair, speckled with twinkling stars, evokes an infinite cosmos, symbolizing the depth and extent of the strength that resides within each of us. This detail connects the character to the universe, suggesting that her inner power is part of a greater whole.

She wears a blue tunic adorned with a solar symbol on her shoulder, echoing the tattoo on her forehead. This solar motif, associated with light, clarity, and resilience, contrasts with the surrounding shadows, highlighting that she embodies light within darkness. Two small hearts tattooed beneath her eyes add a touch of humanity and sensitivity, showing that this strength is not cold or devoid of emotion.

The painting conveys a powerful message: even in moments when everything seems to hinder us, there exists an unknown strength within us. Like this woman, we must learn to know ourselves, recognize our worth, and draw from our inner resources. Her serenity in the face of obstacles inspires self-confidence and the courage to move forward, despite the obstacles that may appear on our path.
