A still face, eyes closed, mouth at rest. A serene presence breathing in silence. Behind her, an Islamic pattern embodies the rhythm of in- and exhaling. The work invites slowing down, finding space in simplicity and breath.

On the canvas, we see the face of a geisha, adorned with makeup and flowers in her hair. Yet her own face still shines through. The painting captures the fragile moment in which the person fades and the idealized image of the geisha emerges. She symbolizes how women are often viewed and the expectations they are meant to meet a reflection on beauty, identity, and the pressures of societal ideals.

'I tell the story you don't see, but feel'
Therèse captures the feminine essence in so many ways. "Taking Root" beautifully depicts the patience of a developing child into a woman. I admire it every day in my living room; it's a wonderful reminder to remain patient with myself.

Testimonials
The painting "The Stillness" immediately struck me when I saw it during the Art Days. Not least because it's beautifully painted, but also because the title perfectly captures the painting's impact on me. I enjoy it every day.
