Detailed description:

Whispers of stone and water

Acrylic on canvas, 40 × 50 cm.

The painting is composed of deep green, turquoise, dark grey, white, and light green tones.

The background consists of layered brushstrokes in deep green and turquoise with darker patches and vertical drips. Areas of yellow-green texture appear in the middle and right parts of the composition.

In the center of the painting stands a silver, fountain-like structure composed of several stacked, circular, and bowl-shaped elements. The form rises vertically from the lower part of the canvas and is painted with thick white brushstrokes.

At the top of the structure, a small irregular sculptural shape appears, rendered in silver and dark grey paint.

Around the central form, several clusters of small, irregular silver shapes are scattered across the upper and left parts of the composition.

Beneath the fountain, a broad, light-green area spreads horizontally, suggesting ground or vegetation.

Dark irregular shapes surrounding the central structure create a dense layered background behind the fountain.

He thought he’d gone mad. Voices in your head are all well and good, of course — sometimes almost normal. But if they’d been malicious instigators, he could’ve blamed it on mom and dad (like the therapist said: “Whose voice is it that calls you a fat loser? Is it true?”). Well, he’d have managed somehow.

But this voice was so caring: “Come on,” it says, “let’s make some sandwiches. With ham. No ham? Take some money from the stash, it’s fine. And let’s add some cheese, put them in the microwave. Want more? Let’s have more! And then,” it says, “we’ll read detective novels and eat those sandwiches. Work can wait; they’re all grown-ups, they’ll get by. Today, everything is allowed.”

Lord, who is this?
