Omnipotence (Expanded Painting)

.

Acrylic on canvas & tape, painting, 61x91.5cm, 2024-2025

As a visual artist, I am creating a new way of seeing and understanding architectural imagery with sacred connotations. I am fascinated with the material representations of a paradise on earth. It has led my investigation into how contemporary art, through the use of colour, collage, fragmentation, and geometry in spiritual and transcendent forms, can imply a sacred realm. During my transpersonal experiences from childhood to adolescence, I felt an awareness of an otherworldly dimension through the sensation of a spiritual aesthetic in Greek Orthodox churches in Sydney, Australia. The fragments within the interior and exterior facade resemble unspoken yearnings and spatial order of awe-inspiring power. In each space, I became aware of an aura of a higher being, finding myself absorbed in the search for a mystical realm of my own understanding.
