Description :

"In Portal of the Soul, the gaze no longer observes - it crosses."

This piece emerges as a symbolic passage between the visible and the unspoken, between matter and presence.

The reliefs rise like fragments of memory, layers of fossilised time that resist forgetting. The acrylic surface conceals and reveals, guided by restrained and intuitive gestures. At the centre, the epoxy resin acts as a liquid mirror — one that does not reflect images, but returns the sensation of being seen.

The composition vibrates in a space between the intimate and the sacred.
There is no narrative, no figure. There is silence in tension. There is depth.

Portal of the Soul invites stillness.
An opening.
A suspended moment where the world slows down — and the inner space expands.
