Quintessence (336)

In this canvas, the fuchsia corals seem to blaze with an inner light, like miniature suns blooming in the depths. Their branching forms, resembling delicate arabesques, evoke both fragile flowers and living stars. The contrast with the dark green setting makes them all the more vibrant, as though the shadows themselves were sheltering them. Yellow and blue areas intermingle in shifting layers, like marine currents streaked with sparks. To the right, a pink sphere radiates like a submarine star, an incandescent centre that attracts and illuminates all around it. The whole breathes with abundance and delicacy, with power and vulnerability. This is a secret garden where each coral becomes a jewel, a living ember in the aquatic night. Contemplating it, one is swept away by a sense of sacred wonder, as if this unseen world were whispering the memory of Creation. And then, a gentle question arises: what if the mystery of the universe lay in these tiny lights that persist in shining at the heart of darkness?
