The artwork “Silence,” created by Luc Tuymans in 1991 in Belgium, is an oil painting on canvas belonging to the New European Painting movement. This portrait measures 87 x 79 cm.
The artwork depicts a minimalist and ethereal representation of a human face. The face is devoid of explicit detailing and appears to float on an indistinct, almost empty background, evoking a sense of silence and introspection. The face is characterized by its closed eyes, giving it a profound and contemplative quality. The use of muted tones and sparse brushstrokes further emphasizes the tranquil and haunting atmosphere of the piece.
