About this artwork
This work captures a quiet moment of stillness: a young girl reclining beside a bed, her form emerging in soft blue and orange tones. The palette balances warmth and coolness, suggesting both the inward turn of contemplation and the gentle presence of calm.
The painting is less about portraiture than about atmosphere, a meditation on solitude and the unspoken inner life. The body, half-revealed and resting, becomes a vessel for pause—where thought… slows, and time momentarily loosens its grip.
The title refers to the Tom Waits song "Hold on" :
“But inside your head there's a record that's playing
A song called "Hold On", hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on“
(Hold on, Tom Waits • Mule Variations, 1999)

Walter Dermul is a professional oil painter with a background in marketing and a lifelong fascination for the arts. He uses alla prima techniques on canvas, focusing on representational and deeply figurative subjects—solitary figures, interiors, and architecture—rendered in muted, psychological palettes of blues and greys. His paintings explore themes of memory, transition, and human connection, evoking a quiet introspection that invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences, lingering between intimacy and ambiguity.
