Hambourg • Pentaptych
Hambourg emerges from a pentaptych born in the folds of body and memory, during a moment of extreme surrender experienced in Germany. Created with the artist’s own blood—flowing from an act of love—and enhanced with metallic gold, the work crosses the boundaries of the carnal and the sacred.
Blood, as the primary medium, becomes at once testimony, offering, and alchemy. It inscribes on paper the most visceral intimacy, an organic trace of earthly life, while gold elevates the act into a precious icon. Between gestural abstraction and organic expression, the composition reveals the tension between the fragility of the living and the power of the bond, between the offered body and the transfigured creation.
Five canvases form the original whole, a metaphor for the five senses, the five extremities of being, the five heartbeats of a single instant: the call, the welcome, the surrender, the creation, the offering. Hambourg, fragment of this carnal and mystical rite, rises as a contemporary relic, a passionate imprint that touches the ether.
Through this radical and poetic gesture, the body becomes canvas, a sacred territory. Hambourg illuminates infinite devotion, a pact sealed in fervor, transforming intimacy into icon, and love into matter.
