This monochromatic, abstract composition employs stark contrasts and organic/geometric elements to convey the complex interplay between the conscious and unconscious realms of the human psyche.
The upper portion is dominated by a severe, angular black form reminiscent of a door or portal. This solid, linear shape represents the rational, logical aspects of consciousness - our waking state of awareness guided by reason and higher cognitive functions.
Beneath it, wispy white contours depict an amorphous, root-like tangle emanating from the rigid black form above. This fluid, natural motif symbolizes the unbounded, intuitive space of the unconscious mind - the wellspring of instinct, emotion, and unfiltered thought that exists beyond conscious control.
Rays of white light permeate from the edges, suggesting the ever-present reality of existence that allows interplay between the conscious and unconscious domains. The two worlds are interdependent, their synergy shaping our lived experiences and perception of self.
Through this dichotomy of geometric austerity and visceral, biomorphic forms, the artist visually articulates the intertwined nature of conscious and unconscious processes. The composition seems to pose that true integration and harmony arises from acknowledging the coexistence of logic and primal intuition within the human condition.
By blending abstraction with symbolic undertones, this piece delves into deep philosophical inquiries about consciousness, the psyche, and our multifaceted internal landscapes. It invites contemplation on the relationship between the known and unknown aspects that coalesce to construct an authentic experience of being.

A meditator and artist, his life's work intertwines text, modern art, and the creation of intricate mandalas. As a troubled youth, he turned to the study of the mind to find solace, embarking on a journey of self-discovery.
Entering adulthood, he immersed himself in diverse spiritual traditions and practices, wandering from religion to ashram in an unquenchable quest for enlightenment. After graduating with a degree in fashion design, he briefly worked at an art studio before fully devoting himself to painting.
Profoundly inspired by the sacred art of Tibetan mandalas, he has spent years researching and depicting their symbolic geometry. His meditative coloring books on mandalas, as well as literary works plumbing the depths of human existence, are fruits borne from this spiritual artistic path.
Now, in the year 2024, he prepares to make his debut on the global art stage, sharing his vibrant visions with the world. His brushstrokes breathe life into an intensely personal exploration of consciousness, each canvas a meditative revelation.
