Genesis of the Deep

from the series Circles of the Universe


Genesis of the Deep explores the moment before form fully emerges. It evokes the primordial state described in ancient cosmology, when darkness rested over the waters and creation existed only as potential. The circular format becomes a symbol of origin and continuity, a closed yet infinite field in which matter, energy, and time begin to awaken.

Deep blues dominate the surface, recalling the oceans of the Earth and the vastness of cosmic space. These layers are interrupted by traces of gold, scattered like stellar dust or the first sparks of light breaking through the unknown. The textured surface suggests geological pressure, sediment, and slow formation, as if the painting itself were shaped by elemental forces.

Rather than illustrating a literal beginning, the work functions as an emotional and symbolic map of genesis. It reflects the silent transition from chaos to order, from darkness to illumination, where creation is not sudden but gradually revealed. The circle holds this moment in balance, returning the viewer again and again to the source.
