Quintessence (361)

In this painting, a spiral unfolds like a wave frozen in space, surging forth from an ocean of gold, turquoise and deep violet. The whorls appear at once liquid and cosmic, as though witnessing the union of sea and sky, merged within a single breath. The dark centre, rich in texture, resembles a matrix where the memory of the universe lies dormant. Each hue bears a symbol: gold evokes divine light, violet reflects spiritual depth, and green signifies the force of life in full expansion. Together, they form a vibrant alchemy, where the elements unite without blending, revealing the mysterious balance underpinning all creation. One might imagine the invisible gesture of the Creator, tracing with breath the infinite curve of the spiral. This painting invites us to contemplate the beauty of movement, a flow that never ceases—whether that of galaxies or our inner thoughts. It reminds us that all life is born in the whirlwind and that chaos is always traversed by a secret harmony. And what if this spiral, suspended in the brilliance of colours, were none other than a mirror of our own journey: a circular path which, by returning upon itself, brings us ever closer to the essential centre?
