PORTAL
PORTAL is an artistic project in which painting functions as a ritual of contact with presence.
The process starts by entering an altered state and becoming sensitive to what is present. From there the painting develops as an improvised exchange: answering the encounter as it unfolds, with no image decided in advance. This way of working belongs to RITUAL — a Gate I describe in V.O.I.D., where the energetic currents of VEIL become a medium of contact with the presence perceived through ECHO.
Each painting works in two directions. It lets the viewer approach an unseen presence, and gives that presence a point of manifestation in the visible world.
