This work is the UV light representation of an original acrylic painting by Jaremi Picz, offering a hidden dimension of the piece that emerges only in darkness under ultraviolet illumination. It forms part of the artist's ongoing exploration of cosmic transformation, energy release, and the duality between the visible and the unseen.
Drawing inspiration from the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 7293)—a real astronomical object formed in the final stages of a star’s life—Picz uses this celestial symbol as a metaphor for transition, dissolution, and rebirth. While the daytime version of the painting speaks to structure, form, and material presence, the UV layer reveals a pulsating, spectral energy—the spiritual or quantum essence of the work—otherwise invisible.
This duality reflects the artist’s broader “Epicentre” philosophy, where every form contains a hidden epicentre of energy and meaning. By inviting viewers to engage with both the light-visible and UV-only layers, the work blurs the line between scientific observation and metaphysical experience, reinforcing the idea that truth is layered, and that perception depends on light, context, and awareness.
Through this approach, Picz challenges the viewer to look beyond what is immediately visible and to sense the vibrational presence of the unseen, giving cosmic events a deeply human, introspective resonance.
