The Architecture of the Soul: A Journey from Ash to Gold

Описание: How to paint self-love? For me, self-love is more than a feeling, it is a sovereign behavior. It is the ritual of clearing out the old to reveal the golden pulse within. Sovereignty in Art - In this episode, I invite you into my studio to witness the creation of the first heart in my new series. What began as a project for my gallery evolved into a deep exploration of the soul. Using raw ash, structural nets, and gold leaf, I translate the silent strength of "Self-Love" into a haptic, visual experience.

The Ritual of Refinement: This journey is not just about aesthetics, it is a ritual of liberation. I share with you the three pivotal phases of this artwork’s soul:

Structure & Connection: Watch as a red net merges with a foundation of raw ash. It is a symbol of our own structure—networked and integrated, yet requiring a solid foundation.

The Ritual Cleansing: I use sweeping brush strokes and gold powder to perform a "ritual of clearing." This process represents the liberation from foreign energies and patterns that are not our own, cleaning the inner sanctuary of the soul.

The Golden Pulse: The heartbeat (ECG line) is not rendered in harsh black, but in elegant gold leaf. It represents my philosophy of Sovereignty: Your value is not determined by external judgment or collapsing systems—it dwells within you. You are your own refuge.

The Philosophy for the Collector: For the serious art lover, this piece offers more than visual beauty. It is a tactile reminder of resilience. The final reveal—removing the masking tape—unveils a work that balances strength with vulnerability, held together by a protective net that safeguards your most precious asset: yourself.
