In the artwork “Ouroboros”, the pictorial research explores the deep connections between the geometric breakdown of color and the fundamental processes of ancient alchemy. The archetypal fi-gure of the serpent biting its own tail develops in a clockwise direction through a mandatory chromatic sequence: from the tail to the head, the reptile crosses the stages of black, white, yellow, and red. This linear movement marks a ritual and necessary passage, a symbolic journey leading from the end to the beginning, from death to life, embodying the very essence of the eternal return.At the center of the complex compositional grid, the coils of the ser-pent enclose two bodies in profile -one masculine and one feminine - which find their geometric synthesis in a single central face placed frontally, its gaze turning directly toward the viewer. Amid the dense decorations of small leaves, the integration of peacock feathers evokes a earthly and sensory dimension, still stirred and confused by human emotions. In this labyrinth of signs and shifting colors, the composition expresses the effort of the soul as it painstakingly attempts to trace its golden thread, the sole spiritual guide capable of showing the way.
