Quintessence (229)

In this painting, a blaze of gold and rose erupts at its centre, radiating a light that sets the shadows alight. Dazzling greens and profound violets meld into this flamboyant brilliance, like landscapes in fusion at the threshold of transfiguration. The matter appears to open, even to tear itself asunder, allowing a fervent breath to pass through—a cosmic flame piercing the night. The contrasts are intense, almost dramatic, yet the whole breathes with a mysterious gentleness, as though the canvas were singing the union of opposites: shadow and light, ending and beginning. One senses a silent song—the universe recalling its origins and, in the same gesture, already dreaming of its rebirths. Is this the conclusion of a cycle, or an invitation to a new beginning where everything starts anew, eternally?
