Quintessence (95)

This painting immerses the viewer in a mineral, telluric alchemy. Dark, dense masses spread out like the Earth's crust, studded with turquoise and white glimmers, akin to gems or shards of ice imprisoned in the rock. Above, orange and red cascade like a flow of lava, an incandescent surge piercing the shadowy strata to fertilise the very matter beneath. This is a primeval vision, where fire and stone, water and light unite in a single act of gestation. The centre, splattered with luminous fragments, evokes cooled embers, as though life is kindled in the crucible of the most raw elements. One might glimpse the bed of a volcanic ocean, a planet in fusion, and the very foundation of a new creation. This painting is a reminder that beauty does not emerge solely in dazzling blooms or radiant corals, but is born also from the austerity of beginnings, in the silent struggle between fire and night. And what if every stone, every speck of dust, every obscure fragment were, in truth, a seed of light awaiting its awakening?
