A Quiet Love Letter to Winter

There’s a softness in winter that often gets overlooked. We talk about the cold, the dark, the long stretches of grey — but for me, winter has always carried a quiet kind of magic. Growing up in Poland, snow wasn’t a rare treat; it was a season that settled in for months, reshaping the world in white. I remember how everything shimmered, how the trees glittered with frost, how the light bounced off frozen branches and made the whole landscape glow. Those memories live so vividly in me that even now, years later, I still long for that feeling.

‘Whispers of Midwinter’ was born from that longing — a gentle, abstract echo of the winters I grew up with. I didn’t want to paint a literal snowy scene. Instead, I wanted to capture the emotion of it: the hush, the glow, the calm, the way the world feels suspended for a moment. The colours came naturally. Soft icy blues for the cold air, muted greens for the winter trees, and bright strokes of yellow for the moments when sunlight slips through and turns everything to gold.

When I look at this piece, I see movement without noise — a winter breeze, drifting snow, the quiet shift of light across ice. But more than anything, I see comfort. A reminder that even the coldest season carries warmth inside it.

Whether you love winter or simply enjoy a moment of calm in your home, I hope this piece brings a soft, reflective glow to your space. A little whisper of winter, captured in colour.
