About the Artwork:
“As an artist, I was inspired by Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black. I created this painting to capture the eerie atmosphere of old houses that seem to be haunted by their past inhabitants. The figure standing in front of the window evokes a sense of timelessness and the whispers of forgotten secrets.” – Sylvia Strijk
