Title: Sounding Silence Artist: Michael Cheval (Master of Absurdism)

Description:

In “Sounding Silence,” Michael Cheval presents a hauntingly beautiful visual metaphor for memory and the passage of time. True to his “Absurdist” style, the painting depicts a scene that operates on dream logic, where music is not heard with the ears, but felt with the soul.

The composition is dominated by a winding, spiral path composed of piano keys, which twists into the distance like a strand of DNA or a road into the past. A central female figure, elegant and enigmatic with bright red lips and gloves, engages with a surreal apparatus—a phonograph horn that seems to merge with the environment. She bears a vinyl record upon her head, suggesting that she is not just a listener, but a vessel of the music itself.

Cheval describes this piece as an exploration of the “forgotten melodies” of our lives—the voices of those no longer with us, or the music of our youth that we can remember but no longer physically reproduce. The silence of the painting is “sounding” because it echoes with these memories, much like the “rustle of fallen leaves” or the scratch of an old record. It is a masterpiece of nostalgia, rendered with the technical precision of the Dutch Golden Age masters.
