Creation from Chaos stages a generative act in which the pictorial matter is born from rupture and dispersion. The surface of the canvas is crossed by splashes and drips that spread instinctively, creating a dynamic and layered composition, lacking a dominant center but full of visual tension.

The work stands out for its use of eggshells, white and coated in red metallic leaf, employed as containers of color. Symbol of fragility and origin, the egg is transformed here into a release instrument: its fracture becomes a creative gesture, and the freed color spreads across the canvas like uncontrolled energy. The fragments of the shells, still visible, act as physical traces of the event, making the painting act irreversible and tangible.

The tension between the purity of white, the metallic intensity of red, and the chromatic matter in motion suggests a reflection on birth as a chaotic and necessary process. In Creation from Chaos, destruction and creation coincide, and painting affirms itself as a place of transformation.

"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
