AMOUR: THE COSMIC RHAPSODY
In stock
Description
The panoramic artwork, entitled “Cosmic Rhapsody,” is a mesmerizing vista that appears to capture the volatile and eternal dance of celestial bodies. The canvas is a vast expanse of cosmic chaos, where strokes of molten colors clash and blend with the dark abyss of space. The fiery hues of orange and red erupt across the painting, reminiscent of solar flares and nebulous formations, while specks of gold and flecks of white might represent distant stars or the glint of cosmic dust.
In the center of the tumult, forms that suggest the fiery plumage of phoenixes or the flowing garments of astral deities rise and fall in a dynamic rhythm, their shapes almost alive with motion. These forms, set against the void, conjure a sense of creation and destruction, the primordial forces that govern the universe.
The edges of the painting are steeped in shadowy tones, which could signify the vast, unexplored depths of the universe, or perhaps the unknowable corners of the human psyche. Within these shadows, one might discern the outlines of distant galaxies or the echoes of ancient myths, inviting the viewer to project their imagination onto the cosmic canvas.
“Cosmic Rhapsody” is not simply a visual experience; it is an invitation to a journey through the cosmos. It is an abstract representation of the music of the spheres, the silent yet profound symphony that plays out across the universe, resonant with the mysteries of existence. It asks us to listen with our eyes and see with our hearts, to embrace the beautiful enigma that is our universe.
Titled “AMOUR: Cosmic Rhapsody”, this mesmerizing artwork captures an eclectic blend of abstract and naturalistic elements, set against a darkly dramatic backdrop. The painting immediately draws attention to shadowy figures that seem to emerge from its depths, stylistically reminiscent of Marilyn Minter. An intricate display of vibrant colors borrowed from nature intertwines with these mysterious entities, bringing forth a detailed texture inspired by the works of Hans Andersen Brendekilde and Dusan Djukaric.
Simultaneously, the canvas unfolds a second layer of abstract, atmospheric exploration that further deepens the intrigue. Its darkly fantastical and naturalistic themes blend seamlessly with the atmospheric animal paintings, further enhanced by the captivating aesthetic of burned or charred elements. The ‘redshift’ phenomenon and abstract expressionist figures add a powerful dynamism, while the detailed texture and the elements of ‘angura kei’ introduce a refined complexity to the piece.
Adding to this vibrant tapestry is a vivid forest scene, glowing with red and orange hues. Cosmic abstractions intertwine with dark chiaroscuro figurative paintings, all encased in a glossy layer of resin. This section of the painting is a study in contrasts: between colorful chaos and intense close-ups, between burned and charred elements, and the tranquil energy of naturalistic, atmospheric animal paintings.
The composition’s grand finale unfolds as an abstract representation of colorful clouds, with a stylistic nod to Ivan Albright and Wendy Froud. The burned and charred elements reappear, bringing a sense of continuity, while Dusan Djukaric’s influence introduces an added depth. Intense close-ups and intensely colorful figurations merge harmoniously, creating a striking visual echo of Northern China’s terrain.
In its entirety, “AM=OUR” is a remarkable testament to the fusion of diverse artistic influences and styles, showcasing a compelling interplay of color, texture, and mood within a single, cohesive canvas.

La Langue des Oiseaux” is a French expression that translates to “the language of birds” in English. It is a term used to describe a poetic or mystical language, often used in spiritual or philosophical texts, that utilizes metaphor, symbolism, and wordplay to convey deeper meanings. The term derives from the belief that birds, with their ability to fly high in the sky and communicate across great distances, possess a special knowledge or wisdom that is inaccessible to humans.
The word AM-OUR: AM= Spirit (in French) – OUR= THE LIGHT which constitutes LIFE itself.
In the words of Khalil Gibran, “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” The artist’s connection with their higher self and the resulting painting exemplifies this sentiment, as their attitude towards life and the world around them has been transformed by their realization of this connection.
Through the depiction of urban life as hell and family life and faith as love, the artist is highlighting the importance of perspective in shaping our experiences of the world. This is in line with Gibran’s belief that “We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.” Through their connection with their higher self, the artist has discovered a new level of beauty and truth that they are expressing through their art.
The appearance of Mar-Charbel in the painting is a symbol of the artist’s connection with the divine, as Gibran states, “Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.” The artist’s painting process was a reflection of this, as they were fully immersed in their imaginary world while painting, reflecting the eternity of the divine.
