Artist statement:

At its core, Primordial Echoes explores the juxtaposition of ethereal and earthly imprints of universal energetic forces. This concept emphasizes the transformation of a fundamental essence into individual existing forms, highlighting the connection between the divine origin and its physical existence. It is an invitation to explore our reality beyond the physical and embrace realms that exist outside our linear and constrained human perspective.

Each piece reflects the complexity of our human relationship to the world and the universe, not only as physical places but also as a portals to existence beyond time and space. The visuals from the physical to non-physical are represented through abstraction. Acrylic paint is used as well as unconventional materials such as dried foods to create texture that enhances the emotional aspects of the paintings. Employing gilding and metallic paints allows the artist to provide a sense of mysticism and connection to the divine.

The viewer is encouraged to engage with the pieces from a place beyond the five senses and embark on a spiritual journey, establishing a connection between the material and the immaterial.
