“Peace” was created in the wake of my earlier piece, “Transition”, which I painted during a dear friend’s terminal illness.
This work is a tribute to the absence of suffering and the serenity that followed. The female figure, radiant and whole, represents not loss, but renewal — a soul unburdened, vibrant, and complete. The dove, a timeless symbol of peace and liberation, signifies her release from earthly constraints and the arrival into a state of heavenly grace.
Through this piece, I sought not to dwell in sorrow, but to honour the profound beauty in her transition — the quiet harmony that follows a life fully lived.
