Quintessence (349)

This painting unfolds like a radiant furnace, where solar yellows, golds, and blazing reds seem locked in perpetual combustion. Rounded shapes, almost translucent, emerge at the heart of this eruption—like embryonic suns or cosmic cells in gestation. Around them, crimson and violet flames surge upwards, resembling waves of lava captured at the height of their ascent. The whole gives the impression of a world in fusion, a universe still incandescent and not yet settled. Here, the chaos of matter becomes a language of light, reminding us that every birth is a passage through fire. Streaks of green and emerald breathe an unexpected vitality, as if life itself were already seeking to infiltrate the embers, sowing its mystery within. This painting concludes the series in apotheosis: it speaks both of origin and fulfilment, the moment when matter returns to its blazing source, to be reborn anew. It invites us to contemplate the raw beauty of creative energy—that outpouring which precedes all form and all harmony. And what if this cosmic blaze were not merely an image of galaxies in the making, but also an allegory for our own journey: accepting to walk through the fire of trial, so that a new light might emerge within us?
