Curatorial Statement:
“Whisper of the Inner Child” emerges from the raw, instinctive gesture that defines the German Expressionist universe of ArNoUx. The work depicts a solitary young face, rendered in smudged grays, pinks, and shadows, suggesting both innocence and silent strength. The blurred contours, the heavy strokes around the mouth and eyes, and the trembling textures reveal an inner world where memory, vulnerability, and spiritual resilience coexist.

The portrait is not meant to resemble any specific person; instead, it becomes a symbol — the inner child each human carries within, longing to be protected, heard, and healed. Through distortion and expressive mark-making, ArNoUx captures that fragile whisper of the soul, transforming it into a poetic visual confession.
