Quintessence (695)

A red flow crosses the canvas, like a river of fire winding between sky and earth. It separates, yet also connects: above, gray and turquoise shades evoke storm-laden clouds, a storm in gestation. Below, golds and crimsons unfold like incandescent, fertile, vibrant land. Yellow and purple spheres seem to float in this in-between, like suspended planets, oscillating between descent and ascent. One seems to glimpse both a desert landscape blazing under sunset and a celestial nebula where worlds are still being born. Everything is tension and harmony, fracture and union. Here, quintessence reveals itself in the vital outpouring, like a cosmic sap in motion. But is this red river the blood of the Earth, or the fiery thread that binds the stars together?
