Crystal, celestial purity
From the sky to the earth
“The snow crystal, descending from on High, brings the essence of the Absolute to earth.”
The crystal is, par excellence, a natural and cultural symbol of purity.
The snow crystal heightens this quality through its explicitly celestial origin.
Two dimensions
The mandala gathers, in form and color, these two dimensions:
- the immanent, natural purity of the crystal,
- the transcendent, supernatural purity of snow.
Snow
Descending from on High, it brings to earth the essence of what, in order to be absolutely itself, has no stain, no contamination.
It becomes a symbol of the Absolute.
The artwork
It shows the meeting of pure white, clear green and abyssal blue, arranged to form a kind of radiant star.
It bursts from a luminous, almost blinding center, and stretches out in twelve diamond-like points, six of them crowned by spheres.
The background
In the mottled black of the background, emanations of the form dance.
Sidereal serenity
Serenity, clarity, but so essential that they evoke sidereal solitudes.
One of the artworks most closely tied to meditation on the Essence.
What does snow bring to the earth?
