Quintessence (365)

In this painting, a spiral stands forth as a luminous matrix, haloed by deep greens and golden gleams. At its centre, an orange flame pulses like a fragile yet ardent germ of life, guarding its secret at the heart of the universe. The whole evokes a vegetal cosmogony, a garden-cosmos where light becomes seed and shadow serves as nourishing earth. The concentric circles, sometimes fluid, sometimes tense, recall the rings of an ancient tree or the layers of a planet in formation. They speak to us of time, of its infinite patience, of its way of shaping worlds as it shapes our own lives. Here, the alchemy of colours seems to unite the vigour of earth, the freshness of water, the warmth of fire, and the transparency of air. One could almost see the very imprint of the Creative Breath: an inexhaustible energy, turning and renewing itself, nurturing and elevating. In this movement, everything appears connected, from the smallest cell to the boundless galaxy. And what if this radiant spiral were not merely the image of a world being born, but also an invitation to recognise within ourselves that incandescent core, that germ of eternity that asks only to grow?
