The Silent Mind | Original | Richard Blunt

The Silent Mind by Richard Blunt

In The Silent Mind, Richard Blunt strips away noise, identity, and background to reveal something deeper: presence in stillness. With his signature cinematic realism, Blunt portrays a solitary figure in quiet contemplation, head bowed, face obscured beneath a tilted white hat. One hand rests thoughtfully near the chin, the other loosely cradles a glass—half-empty or half-full, depending on the viewer’s lens.

The stripped linen background and expressive black-and-gold strokes contrast the hyper-detailed suit and hands, creating a powerful tension between chaos and calm, clarity and emotion. This is not a portrait of a man—it’s a portrait of a moment between decisions, between thoughts. A moment of silence before something begins.

A captivating addition to any collection, The Silent Mind offers visual stillness with powerful psychological depth.
