Spirit of Abstraction

Spirit of Abstraction (2021-2023) emerged from an immersion in Sacred Geometry and Hindu yantras, visual systems that articulate ideas of creation, unity, and the unfolding of matter. During this period, I sought to create paintings that felt charged with presence, generating a sense of energy through colour, form, rhythm, and a suspension of ordinary time. Working with geometric structures draws me into a heightened state of attention where symmetry sharpens perception and the act of painting becomes a contemplative practice.

The visual language of the work was informed by the formal principles of the Bauhaus, particularly its emphasis on the expressive relationships between colour, shape, and composition, while remaining open to intuition and embodied decision-making. Within these paintings, geometric forms and symbols function as portals or points of orientation, inviting reflection on dimensions of reality that lie beyond immediate perception.

Through representational abstraction, the works explore the threshold between the visible and the invisible, the material and the spiritual. Painting becomes a means of entering into dialogue with the unknown, a space where thought, sensation, matter, and spirit converge, and where the sacred may be encountered through form itself.
