Curatorial Description:

“With Your Head in My Hands” is a deeply intimate portrayal of emotional surrender and human connection, captured through ArNoUx’s signature expressionist brushwork. The central figure holds their head with solemnity and weight, as if trying to contain a storm of thoughts, memories, or grief. The palette is bold and raw—reds, blacks, and greens swirl around the figure’s face, amplifying the intensity of the inner world.

Thick, gestural strokes convey urgency and tenderness at once, as if the subject is caught in a sacred moment of vulnerability. The eyes—partially shadowed—refuse to look away, anchoring the viewer in a shared experience of unspoken truth.

Florals and abstract organic forms blossom subtly at the edge, suggesting fragility, growth, and the sacred power of touch. This piece is a visual poem, where hands are not just limbs—they are vessels of comfort, love, and spiritual grounding.

“With Your Head in My Hands” invites the viewer to reflect on the silent acts of care that hold us together when words fail.
