About this artwork
Referencing the Akashic field — the spiritual record of existence — the artwork is a representation of a seed of soul memory or divine intention.
This first artwork in the Y series serves as a guide to a primordial map — a raw, cellular terrain where the question "Why am I here?" has not yet been formulated into language, but pulses in texture and tone.
Life forming has been and always will be the greatest mystery recorded… in the Akashic field, waiting to be deciphered by awakened human beings.
The composition suggests a biological emergence: an embryonic form held between layers of time and intention. The central area, with its earthy reds and off-whites, evokes the feel of flesh, soil, or ancient parchment, grounding the viewer in a visceral awareness of being. There’s an echo of both microscopic life and cosmic birth, a paradox you often explore — the invisible beginnings that shape the visible now.
The rawness of the textures,

« The physical body ends in the skin, the mind reaches the stars. »
At the core of my work is industrial cold tar— carrying geological memory. Tar absorbs light, slows movement, and resists clarity, introducing friction into the visual field. When combined with oil, gesso, and pigment, it generates a continuous negotiation between opacity and luminosity, between what is buried and what is revealed.
These dense, absorptive surfaces function as active fields—capable of retaining, resisting, and transforming the materials brought into contact with them. Each work evolves through sequences of action and reaction, of revealing and concealing. The surface becomes an archive of gestures, material events, and temporal shifts.
Central to my work is the notion of layering as a structural condition. Each painting develops through successive strata of material interactions: absorption, oxidation, sedimentation, and reactivation.
