In Corde Coeli (34)

"In Corde Coeli (34)" is a painting that captures the fragile and magical moment when the sky seems to hold its breath - just before light fully unfolds. This piece is an ode to the silent birth of light, to that quiet promise awakening in the cradle of shadows.

Deep purples dominate the lower part of the canvas, offering a sanctuary of mystery, while soft hues of blush pink, cadmium yellow, gold, and tender green pierce the darkness - like the first ray of sunlight gently brushing against the surface of a sleeping landscape.

I wanted these colors to dance and blend together, creating a fluid and organic movement, much like the slow currents of a river stretching at dawn.

As I worked on this piece, I allowed the inks to follow their own path, symbolizing the unpredictable way in which light emerges from darkness. Each rivulet of ink is a spontaneous flow, each fusion of tones an echo of celestial phenomena, where chance and perfection intertwine.

"In Corde Coeli (34)" is a visual meditation on transformation, that fleeting instant where everything remains possible. The darker shades are not obstacles, but fertile grounds where light takes root and grows.

This painting embodies the idea that light does not burst forth suddenly; rather, it moves gently, taming the shadow, turning it into a space of rebirth.

By contemplating this piece, the viewer is invited to slow down, to lose themselves in the depths of this imagined sky, and to feel the inner peace that dawn bestows.

To me, "In Corde Coeli (34)" is like a silent prayer, an homage to the quiet yet essential light that reminds us that every ending carries within it the seed of a new beginning.
