Quintessence (1381)

A burst of red splits this canvas, a vivid flash cutting through an ocean of greens, turquoises, and blues. It seems to trace an incandescent path through a sea in effervescence. Around it, scattered red droplets float like comets, punctuating the composition with their burning ardor. On the left, golds and coppers thicken into warm layers, recalling the memory of the earth. On the right, icy blues and translucent greens open a lighter breath, like a gust of air or an ascending tide. Purples and browns at the base anchor the scene, giving this upward surge a fertile and profound foundation. The painting reads as a vertical movement, a flame rising within a wave. Everything seems to struggle, everything seems to merge, in an irresistible surge toward the sky.
