True Essence
In “True Essence,” I delve into the quintessential questions about our existence, inviting viewers to ponder the core of their own being. This piece is a triptych of the self, a representation of the dimensions that compose us: mind, body, and spirit, each occupying a third of the canvas.
The upper third, ablaze with a spectrum of colors, symbolizes the mind and the boundless energy of the electromagnetic spectrum. The vibrant rainbow hues speak to the infinite potential and pure energy that radiate from our thoughts and consciousness. This is the realm of the unseen, the seat of wisdom and imagination that transcends the physical.
At the center, the starkness of a human skull immersed in deep reds and swirling patterns represents our body, the mortal vessel. It is a poignant reminder of our temporality and the physical journey we navigate in this reality. The visceral colors and textures evoke the lifeblood that courses through us, a testament to the lived experiences that shape our corporeal existence.
The lower third is anchored by the image of a pyramid, an ancient symbol resonating with the frequencies of 3, 6, and 9 — the foundational numbers that Nikola Tesla revered as keys to understanding the universe. It signifies the breath of life, the rhythmic pulse that moves us in and out of reality, grounded in the divine base of sacred geometry. Here lies the spirit, the etheric essence that interlinks us with the universal consciousness.
This artwork is an invitation to acknowledge that we are a microcosm of the macrocosm — interconnected with everything and embodying the universe in our very essence. The message is that we are the observers and the observed, the creators and the destroyers, encapsulated in a cycle of eternal being and non-being. “True Essence” is my contemplation on the profound interconnectedness of existence, an exploration of what it means to be simultaneously everything and nothing.
