Metamorphosis is a living process.
Not a sudden change, but a slow, conscious, necessary passage.
Every form is born from what has been, from what has endured, yielded, learned to flow.
Matter transforms as humans do: through layers, listening, adaptation.
In this continuous cycle there is no loss, only integration.
What once seemed fragile becomes structure, what was a wound becomes passage.
Metamorphosis is silent resilience.
It is accepting movement without resistance, allowing time to carve, letting experience shape.
My art is born spontaneously.
I never know what will emerge from the canvas.
It is my inner world speaking: I follow the flow and my hands are guided by an invisible force.
The artwork takes form as a diptych.
Two canvases in silent dialogue, held together by a field of absolute light.
The background is pure, flat, luminous gold. No relief, no shadow.
It is a motionless space that does not narrate, but preserves presence.
The female figure lies down, shaped by generous fullness, a body that weighs, occupies, asserts.
At the center between the two canvases, her form opens like an immense dawn, origin and visual threshold.
The legs appear deformed, not by mistake but by expressive necessity.
Form steps away from anatomy to become the language of transformation.
In this alteration, the body does not lose truth: it makes it visible.
Here, the body becomes horizon and gold, still and luminous, amplifies its presence.
To change is not to lose oneself,but to be found in a fuller, truer form.
