Quintessence (317)

In this canvas emerges like a cosmic eye opened onto infinity. White and green rings trace a living spiral, recalling not only spinning galaxies but also the growth of a cell glimpsed beneath a microscope. At its heart, the matter thickens into a depth of dark green, like a nucleus on the verge of hatching. Around it, reds, golds and violets vibrate in fiery coronas, resembling protective flames. There is a dual movement here: a pull towards the centre and an expansion outwards, an eternal cycle in which all converges and unfolds in the same breath. One senses both the steadfastness of an axis and the freedom of a dance without end. The impression is of a portal: a passage between the visible and the invisible, between the finite and the infinite. Perhaps this eye is not only that of the universe, but also the soul’s, contemplating its own origin. Yet if everything within us reflects this great living circle, what is it we truly see when we look into infinity?
