The Inner Fire

This painting seizes the gaze like an incandescent poem. Dark branches intertwine in a circle, resembling the obstacles that still hold us in the night. Yet at the center bursts forth a column of light—a vertical flame cleaving the darkness, rising irresistibly. It is at once an earthly blaze and an inner fire, the one no wind can extinguish. Here, the figurative meets the abstract: one seems to see a hearth of wood, yet it is the soul itself that burns and awakens. Every red or golden spark evokes the flicker of a consciousness coming alive, the moment when one partakes in a clarity greater than oneself. The work reminds us that fire is not only destruction but illumination, consuming what binds us to open a passage toward the invisible. To contemplate this painting is to hear the call of the inner flame, that song which invites us to rise, to be reborn, to walk in the light.
