LABYRINTH

In Labyrinth, the image seems to take shape before the viewer’s eyes. Broad expanses of canvas remain open beside areas of intense density, where bodies, nature, and angelic figures emerge, overlap, and disappear.

The composition relinquishes any viewpoint capable of taking it all in: looking requires moving through it, losing one’s bearings, and finding them again. The labyrinth is not depicted; it unfolds in the act of looking.

The labyrinth also lies in the research underpinning the work. The Christian angelic hierarchy and the Tree of Life belong to different traditions, yet share an ancient desire to order the invisible. My painting returns to this search, not to reconstruct a system, but to explore its relationships. Among bodies, ranks, color, and geometry, correspondences multiply until the very attempt to find order becomes a labyrinth.

The painterly construction extends this tension. The bare canvas coexists with accumulation; the organic proliferates as geometry emerges as a principle of order. The image oscillates between appearance and dissolution, matter and structure, testing ways to make visible what resists a definitive form.

Within The Path, understanding does not mean taking in the whole, but moving among relationships, recognizing structures, and accepting what remains unresolved.
