Quintessence (323)

This canvas unfolds as an immense spiral in the making, a vortex of energy that seems at once to absorb and to offer. Luminous whites trace concentric arcs, evoking both the shell of a mollusc and the spiral of a galaxy. All around, deep purples, emerald greens and blazing golds entwine in an alchemy of fire and water. Veins of colour cross and respond to one another, giving the impression of living matter, being shaped before our very eyes. Here, creation becomes a vortex, a matrix, the beating heart of the universe. The eye is drawn into this movement, as if attracted towards a centre that is not merely visual, but spiritual: a place of origin and of return. It is an infinite dance in which every hue is a prayer, every curve, a breath. And so, if all things gravitate towards this luminous centre, perhaps therein lies the ultimate secret: that the entire universe is a circle ceaselessly seeking to return to its own heart.
