Quintessence (448)

A universe in fusion opens, divided between incandescent red and a black ocean studded with turquoise cells. The canvas breathes like a nebula in gestation, where each drop becomes a star and each flow, a galaxy in the making. Chance draws shifting boundaries, and suddenly, in the midst of the currents, an animal-like silhouette appears, dark and bluish, as if risen from a dream or an archaic memory. This form—at once bird, fish, or mythical creature—seems to swim or fly through the colorful tumult. It is a messenger of mystery, proof that the unexpected can generate presences that go beyond the mere play of pigments. Around it, white bubbles scatter like foam or stardust, giving the whole a cosmic breath. The eye oscillates between abstraction and figuration, between chaos and revelation. The animal of chance becomes a symbol of life that emerges even where nothing seemed foretold. Here, matter takes on both flesh and spirit, reminding us that creation always contains more than we believe we place within it. And if every unforeseen appearance in our lives were also a discreet sign of the invisible seeking to manifest itself?
