Lux Perpetua

This painting emerges from the idea that light does not always arrive from outside us; sometimes it is carried quietly within. A featureless female figure lies on her side, knees drawn softly toward her body, her head resting on her arm and leaning down toward her centre. The posture is one of deep repose, yet the work resists any sense of emptiness or withdrawal. Instead, the figure seems to hold something luminous and enduring at her core.

Set within darkness, the composition is shaped by a gentle halo of light that appears to emanate from within the figure herself. This internal glow is steady, quiet, and self-contained. It creates the sense of an intimate radiance that both anchors and protects the body, transforming stillness into presence.
