Curatorial Description (English):

In Devotion Without Witnesses, ArNoUx immerses us in a deeply emotional reflection on the essence of faith — one that exists independently of institutional judgment. Rendered in raw brushstrokes and haunting faces emerging from foggy textures, the central figure represents the believer whose love for God is intimate, unregulated, and personal.

Surrounded by tulips — symbols of love, rebirth, and divine beauty — and punctuated by floating red hearts, the painting evokes a space where divine connection flourishes privately. Other ghostly figures around hint at watchers or past versions of the self, yet the message remains: spiritual truth lies in the quiet choices of daily life, not in public approval.

Here, ArNoUx invites us to reflect on how we behave not because someone sees us, but because God is already in us.
