In this work, I have captured the delicate balance between stillness and expression. The closed eyes symbolize inner peace, while the vibrant lettering reflects a flood of thoughts. By combining paper collage, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, and ink, I have created a captivating texture that makes emotions tangible. This image brings a calm yet powerful energy to any room and invites contemplation and reverie.

Manon May is a self-taught artist with a graphic design background who studied for several semesters at the Wiesbaden Free Art School, where she favors painting, cyanotype, mixed media, and abstract calligraphy. She employs a variety of techniques: writing is understood as form, energy, and rhythm, while cyanotype employs light-based trace analysis, and mixed media emphasizes surfaces, layering, and traces. Her art conveys intense emotions, makes inner movements and memories visible, and condenses identity and presence into expressive images—all according to the motto: "Art is like love, it is self-sufficient."
