Description:

Divine Empathy Pt. 2 is the second in a two-part series—but this painting stands fully on its own. Unlike the first, which explored duality and dialogue, this piece focuses on the still presence of a singular face—eyes closed, head slightly bowed, radiating compassion and inner heat.

Hints of enlightenment iconography surface in the closed eyelids, the flame-like forms, and the peaceful yet powerful expression. But this is no imitation. This is a contemporary spirit of stillness, reimagined through riotous color and raw emotional energy.

The color story—molten reds, oranges, and saturated greens—evokes intensity rather than calm. A single tear (or is it ash?) falls from a closed eye. The quiet is not silence. It is listening, absorbing, transforming.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Spiritual Gravity: Echoes of traditional sacred portraiture without being bound to it.

  • Vivid Emotional Palette: The fire of feeling replaces soft serenity. A new kind of peace.

  • Singular Voice: This figure does not speak, but you’ll feel understood.

  • Sacred Simplicity: Cropped composition and high contrast invite prolonged contemplation.

About the Artist:

Kelly O’Brien is a deaf multidisciplinary artist whose work explores emotional truth through distortion, color, and gesture. Divine Empathy Pt. 2 continues her inquiry into the tension between stillness and saturation, empathy and overwhelm.

Placement Suggestion:

This piece glows in low light. A meditation space, studio, or private room will let it whisper and radiate without distraction. Pair with Pt. 1 for a mirrored story of inner and outer reflection.
