ARCANE


An invitation to delve into the mysterious realm of the unseen, exploring the subtle energies that fuel our creativity and shape our understanding of the world. Through a selection of artworks that blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, we examine the intricate relationships between the seen and unseen aspects of reality.


Some pieces feature recognizable forms imbued with symbolic meanings, while others opt for pure abstraction, harnessing color, texture, and composition to evoke the dynamic flow of what we can name “Life-force”. The resulting tension between representation and interpretation invites introspection into the nature of human perception and its role in shaping our understanding of existence.


The inclusion of abstract formulas in the paintings aims to add another layer of depth to the artworks, highlighting the interconnectedness of the elements (air, water, fire, earth) and their involvement in the larger cosmic dance. The use of both dark and light colors in the artwork serves to represent the duality of existence, where opposing forces are actually complementary and necessary for balance and harmony.


Just as the universe is composed of both matter and antimatter, light and darkness, so too do these opposites coexist and interact in the natural world.
