What shines in silence

Some creatures do not ask to be seen.
They drift, they pause, they hide in stillness—
until another light awakens them.

What Shines in Silence is a series of fluorescent animal portraits painted in acrylic, each revealing a hidden form under blacklight. From the quiet gaze of a turtle to the wild knot of a giraffe’s neck and the grounded force of a bison, these beings speak in two languages: one for the world, and one for those who look deeper.

Each canvas lives between day and dream, between surface and secret. They are not just animals — they are reflections of our own dual nature: the visible, and the glowing truth beneath it.

This collection is a conversation between light and shadow, instinct and intention. A reminder that what truly shines, often does so in silence.
