The aura is a delicate, invisible halo surrounding each person, revealing the essence of our being beyond the physical form. It is a subtle field of vibrant colors and shifting energies that connects us, forming an unseen web of emotions, thoughts, and vibrations.
This aura holds our purest joys, deepest sorrows, hopes, and dreams. It reflects our moods and inner states, serving as a living portrait of our inner world. At times, it glows brightly, illuminating our path and that of others with its benevolent light, while at other times, it dims, mirroring our inner conflicts and struggles.
With a silent yet powerful language, the aura expresses our soul beyond words, embodying our true self and highlighting our shared humanity. It reminds us of our universal connection and interdependence, an essence that transcends time and space.
This collection features four aura paintings of individuals with whom I share a deep spiritual bond.
Part of a series of eleven works created in late 2023, they began as digital pieces developed using 3D glasses to capture vibrant color and light. The project will evolve through experiments with glass printing and neon lights, aiming to embody the aura’s immaterial quality and immerse viewers in this captivating energetic universe.
Then, I began recreating them on azulejos tiles during a residency in Lisbon. This process seeks to give to the intangible a material vibration, an anchoring in this world, on Earth, through the medium of clay.
