ART AS TRANSFORMATION

In Art as Transformation, two participants engage in a shared act of creation. Without prior plan, each paints an element, then passes the canvas to the other — gesture answering gesture, color meeting color. Through this exchange, form emerges from relation rather than design.


When the process concluded, both works revealed the symbol of infinity (∞), as if reflecting the continuous movement between giving and receiving. In one painting, the figures appeared held within a protective, serpentine form — a presence that could be read as a dragon or a maternal force, embracing creation itself.


The project unfolds in two phases: the act of letting go, and the act of seeing anew. Meaning arises in dialogue, not in isolation.

In this companion work, abstract forms unfolded into vast celestial imagery — a protective, serpentine presence encircling a luminous field. The gesture evokes the archetype of the dragon or the divine mother, both symbols of creation and transformation.
The painting reflects the dialogue between two participants, where intuition replaces control and meaning arises through exchange. As in flowing water, boundaries dissolve: gesture becomes current, color becomes breath, and the act of creation becomes transformation itself.

Created in shared improvisation, Companions of Infinity emerged through alternating gestures between two participants. Within its spontaneous forms, the image of a boy and his dog appeared — figures of trust, presence, and playful connection.
Across the surface, the curve of infinity (∞) links them, suggesting the boundless continuity between human and animal, artist and world.

After a short meditation, the participant in relaxation allows paint to flow over the canvas. There is no intention to create nor control over the process. Energy is focused into the painting.

Blurring the boundaries between artist and participant, Art as Transformation invites viewers to experience art as a living field of connection — between imagination, emotion, and the unseen forces that hold us.
