The Empress

Year

Medium
acrylic on canvas
Dimensions
72 × 120 cm

The Empress invites us to move between creative intuition and logic, allowing irrational images to take shape for scientists, artists and poets. Embodying the principle of Eros, she acts as the channel that translates the invisible into matter, providing support so that the depths may gain a body, structure and concrete existence on the earthly plane.

Observe her raised arms: a gesture of active reception that welcomes the subtle breath and embraces the reality manifested between heaven and earth.

Emerging from the heart of the pomegranate, she presents herself as the bearer of the seed that unites spirit and matter, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. Sorceress and goddess, the Empress is the call to inhabit our own flesh, reminding us that true fulfilment does not blossom only in the mind, but through walking barefoot on the real ground of existence.
