Passage, 180 x 440 cm., acrylic on canvas, 2024
In a world beset with war and natural disasters, Passage is a painting about courage and hope. It was inspired by a grueling hike Karen Silve took last September into the depths of the Verdon Gorge in southeastern France, near her family home. That 7.5-hour trek demanded total commitment and led the artist on a profound inner journey, which became a metaphor for confronting the anxieties and tragedies of modern life. In the symbolic narrative of the composition’s three panels we glimpse a passageway to a different kind of space, where growth and hope present themselves against all odds.
