The concentric circles around the chest evoke the ripple effect of energy or emotion radiating outward, much like the golden ratio found in nature’s patterns, from the petals of a flower to the orbits of planets. This connection between the human and the universal is further amplified by the earthy, muted palette, which grounds the piece while creating warmth and accessibility.
The sharp contrasts of curves and angles reflect tension and balance, symbolizing the duality of the human experience: the soft, emotive aspects of the face juxtaposed with the rigid, structured forms below. The figure’s downward placement within the composition feels intentional, as though rooting the "head"—the seat of thought and identity—within the abstract geometry of the body and earth.
This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own alignment—how the intellectual, emotional, and physical planes converge in their lives. It feels simultaneously introspective and expansive, as though offering both a mirror and a map.
The Architect of Reflection
In The Architect of Reflection, symmetry and bold geometry create a contemplative figure, her form embodying a timeless dialogue between design and thought. The abstraction of her features mirrors the complexity of self-awareness, where clarity emerges through the overlapping fragments of experience. Her seated posture, framed by angular shapes and softened curves, suggests a meditative state—a moment of stillness within the dynamism of existence.
The open books on either side frame her as both a creator and a vessel of ideas, reflecting the transformative power of knowledge and its ability to shape identity. As the architect of her inner world, she invites the viewer to consider their own process of reflection and the structures they build to house their truths.
Drawing from Constructivist influences and modernist abstraction, the composition uses a palette of earthy tones alongside vibrant accents of orange, blue, and green, signifying the harmony between natural and constructed worlds. The sharp contrasts and seamless intersections highlight the precision of thought and the fluidity of introspection.
Celestial Elegy
Celestial Elegy is a poignant exploration of emotional depth and universal connection, expressed through the language of geometry and abstraction. The figure’s striking gaze is framed by celestial orbs and angular planes, creating a tension between vulnerability and composure. The tear, a singular detail, amplifies the emotional weight, grounding the abstract composition in human experience.
The muted tones of gray and black, paired with the sharp accents of red and blue, evoke a cosmic vastness. The circular elements mimic planetary orbits, celestial bodies, or the cycles of time and emotion. These spheres connect the individual to the infinite, symbolizing the interplay between the personal and the universal.
The figure’s face, fragmented into planes and angles, mirrors the complexity of human emotion—layered, multifaceted, and in constant flux. The Bauhaus-inspired geometry gives the piece a structured elegance, while the stark contrast of light and shadow emphasizes duality: stillness versus movement, introspection versus connection, and sorrow versus beauty.
The Vanguard
The Vanguard represents boldness and symmetry, embodying the forward movement of art, thought, and identity. The central figure, constructed from a kaleidoscope of geometric shapes, feels both futuristic and timeless. The sharp black triangular shapes above the figure’s head anchor the composition, creating a sense of authority and framing the vibrant energy radiating from within.

The circular motifs at the center evoke cycles, continuity, and unity, symbolizing the harmony between individuality and the universal. The upward-facing black elements suggest ascension, progress, and the drive to break boundaries, all themes consistent with the ideals of Constructivism and Bauhaus.
The Custodian of Knowledge
A tribute to the eternal interplay between wisdom and the self, The Custodian of Knowledge captures a figure steeped in contemplation and inquiry. Geometric shapes converge into a serene yet commanding presence, emphasizing structure and fluidity as essential components of understanding. Her hands cradle an open book, a symbol of discovery, while a second book rests on her lap—a reservoir of potential yet to be explored. The composition suggests an ongoing dialogue between the act of learning and the repository of what has already been absorbed.
The artwork draws heavily on the influences of Cubism and Constructivism, employing bold, intersecting planes and a harmonious palette of earthy tones, punctuated by blues and reds to evoke passion and clarity. This duality—active engagement and reflective pause—is further echoed in her expression, split between light and shadow, suggesting that knowledge is both illuminating and mysterious.
The architectural framing around her creates a halo-like effect, elevating her as a guardian of wisdom. Yet, her grounded posture reminds us that knowledge, while transcendent, remains deeply human. Through its layered symbolism and intricate geometry, the piece reflects on the cyclical nature of learning: as we uncover new truths, we inevitably return to the questions that began our journey.
The Seed of Balance
"This name captures the duality of growth and structure present in the piece, with the avocado seed symbolizing potential, nourishment, and grounding. It reflects her serene yet resilient presence, merging the organic and the geometric. The title evokes a sense of harmony, celebrating the interplay between the natural world and constructed identities.
The influence of Brazilian Constructivism shines through, especially in how the shapes create a rhythmic dialogue with the subject's expression. Artists like Tarsila do Amaral come to mind, where abstraction merges with cultural and natural roots, celebrating simplicity without losing depth.
From a viewer’s perspective, this artwork feels like a modern reinterpretation of fertility and nourishment—where the avocado represents both physical sustenance and emotional grounding. The use of earthy browns, greens, and neutrals paired with her vivid red lips pulls me into a story of resilience: a woman who embodies the duality of growth and structure, of nature and design."
The Reader and the Flower
This piece embodies duality—the reader and the flower, both interconnected yet distinct. As a reader, she represents intellect, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge, her upright posture suggesting focus and intent. The book in her lap is more than a prop; it’s a metaphorical bridge between internal thought and the external world.
As a flower, however, she symbolizes growth, fragility, and beauty in full bloom. Her geometric construction, reminiscent of petals unfolding, hints at the organic process of becoming. This duality captures the essence of human existence—simultaneously absorbing the world’s knowledge and blossoming into one’s unique form.
The pop-constructivist influence shines through in the bold, fragmented shapes and vibrant palette. Constructivism, with its focus on form and functionality, serves as the framework, while the pop-inspired tones inject a playful, accessible energy. Together, they blur boundaries between high art and mass culture, much like the figure herself—rooted in the earth as a flower yet striving upward as a reader.
Philosophically, this piece speaks to the act of synthesis. Just as a flower synthesizes sunlight into life, so too does the reader synthesize ideas into understanding. Both acts require openness and vulnerability—a willingness to be shaped by external forces while remaining anchored in one’s essence. It’s a celebration of the interplay between mind and nature, knowledge and beauty, form and emotion.
The viewer is invited to reflect on their own dualities: How do we nurture growth while seeking meaning? How do we balance the intellect’s hunger with the soul’s need to flourish? In this harmonious union of geometric precision and organic symbolism, the artwork suggests that perhaps the answers lie in embracing both sides of the self.
