Payal Moitra, In a Seashell, oil on canvas, 24x20in., $2,500
This painting emerged from my belief in the power of quiet. As an introvert myself I tried to convey a sense of wholeness and self-trust through the play of shadow and light with figurative storytelling

Her eyes invite the viewer into a world unknown while the seashell earrings hold whispers of stories waiting to be heard. The background is warm and bright that creates an aura of positivity.
