Skies In My Eyes (The Floating Bridge of Heaven)

There are paths no foot has ever trodden, passages suspended between two worlds, woven not of stones but of light. In Japan, it is called “the floating bridge of heaven,” the rainbow raised as a sacred link, opening the way between the dwelling of men and the divine eternity. This symbolic painting seeks to reveal its majesty. The color red reigns within, ardent, sovereign, sign of the sacred, seal of an inaccessible fire. For this path is not for all: it is the initiation of souls ready to cross the threshold. Seven steps, seven colors: thus descends the Buddha from heaven, thus rise the prayers of men, thus circulate the promises between earth and infinity. In the blazing cloud, a bird ascends. A discreet silhouette, though it traverses the entire canvas, yet bearer of universality: the bird is messenger, breath, and freedom. It tells that this bridge is not only passage, but flight, liberation, return to the Source. The floating bridge of heaven is no mirage: it is the memory engraved in our souls. We know, in the deepest part of ourselves, that a bond unites us to the Eternal, and that every rainbow, every light, reminds us of the promise of return and the eternal Covenant. Thus this painting appears as an offering, a prayer in colors, a silent call to take the inner path, where man discovers himself a pilgrim of the heavens.
