“The awakened souls are the triggers for each other’s transformation.”
The paintings that make up the project "Continuum" express my fascination with the subject of consciousness and the symbolic, psychological aspect of alchemy in human transformation.
The characters go through the archetypal cycle of death and rebirth, in which the "false self" is surrendered, and the "true self" emerges. They are the entangled souls who are highly responsive to their shared energy. In their intensive, deep connection, they are catalysts for each other's consciousness awakening and spiritual transformation. The process of coming to self-realization is painful and demands their efforts to maintain balance despite the emotional rollercoaster they experience.
The figures are surrounded only by a stone and empty space. Nudity, stone - symbolizes the severity of life and the loneliness of a man in contact with his own thoughts, feelings. He experiences nakedness, defenselessness - not only of the body but, above all - of the Psyche. Even if surrounded by people - with the austerity of life, he comes face to face by himself and experiences the coldness of the "stone" with his own senses.
Emptiness, free space has a symbolic meaning of "the ego−free state, wherein all things are like the void and cloudless sky" (Timothy Leary "The Psychedelic Experience").
Due to my current obsession with the circles, they appear on my paintings - as a symbol of the cycle of psychic deaths and rebirths, the striving for growth, expanding consciousness, and oneness with the cosmic energy.
J. Bohme wrote in 1612:
"The essence of God is like a wheel(...), the more one looks at the wheel, the more one learns about its shape, and the more one learns, the greater pleasure one has in the wheel(…)."
