Quintessence (1015)

A brilliant light shines through this painting, creating waves of blue, green, and purple. It feels as if we're diving into a coral lagoon, where clear waters reveal thousands of unseen creatures, or soaring into a sky filled with stars and galaxies. At the top, strokes of red and pink shimmer like sea anemones or newborn stars. In the center, translucent shapes resemble air bubbles underwater or expanding nebulae. The lower part grows denser, with shades of brown and indigo, like an earth crust or a continent drifting through space—solid yet in motion. Everything seems to breathe, as if matter itself pulses with the rhythm of an invisible tide. Colors flow, overlap, and intertwine, forming a liquid world where the boundary between ocean and cosmos fades away. Here, the living and the cosmic blend into the same silent realm. And what if what we take for the sky is actually an even vaster ocean, of which we perceive only the surface?
