Inspiration:
 
In Caosmosis, I give voice to the inner place where I dwell most often: that suspended space where chaos and cosmos do not cancel each other out, but breathe together.
While I was painting, I felt the material move like a vortex, an energy that does not destroy, but creates, shaping new forms.
The luminous centre is, for me, a threshold: not a point of arrival, but a passage, a crossing, an invitation to open myself to change.
When I look at this piece, I recognise my own inner motion: my attempt to find harmony not in stability, but in embracing the instability around me.
Caosmosis is my way of saying that balance is born from oscillation, that beauty lies in process, and that within me coexist both order and freedom.
Each time I observe it, I am reminded that I do not need to choose between chaos and order: I can be both, continuously becoming and continuously creating.
