Curatorial Description:
This work is a personal lament and a spiritual confession. In To Be With Her, ArNoUx invokes the Virgin Mary as both sanctuary and mirror—an icon of strength amidst sorrow. Painted on Mother’s Day in a moment of profound solitude, the figure emerges as both self and symbol: the artist, the Mother of God, the grieving daughter, the woman longing to belong fully to divine service.
Expressionist brushwork and saturated textures express the internal storm: the aching desire for monastic peace, the weight of maternal absence, and a plea for mercy from a soul suspended in between worlds. The unfinished lines and bleeding pigments suggest a heart still in prayer, still unspoken.
This is not just a painting. It is a wound offered to the sacred.
