La Période Bleue

"A BLUE MOMENT IS NOTHING BUT SOUL" GEORG TRAKL

TIME is a möbius loop. MEMORY is a daydream. BLUE is an aching soul.

The exploration and discovery of self is but a nostalgic, paranoid unraveling. Lumi frantically explores her story of the "past" & "future" through the present meditation with self. Her visions become the guidance that inform the profound moments, weaving seamlessly into each composition.

The present unfolds indefinitely, as she attempts to embody the illusion of time throughout each piece.

Lumi creates compositions from a meditative state, allowing visions and constructed memories to fully embody her present being, which she gracefully translates with each brushstroke.

Astral planes of existence hold an immense space in her psyche, becoming predominant locations within this series, allowing the boundless possibilities to naturally unfold into each piece. Subjects of higher self in relation to earthly forms interact seamlessly in each composition, a relationship that only exists rather figuratively is brought to life on the canvas.

One may say, to fully comprehend her work, the viewer must also be deeply & profoundly connected to self. Lumi's work continues to transcend linear space and time, finding itself resting in a place of eternal spirit.

Labyrinthe de Lune / The Moon Labyrinthe

January 2024

Acrylic & Watercolor

24" x 30"

Guided by the light of the moon, a dazed walk through the labyrinth, a seemingly homesick and illusive journey.

A stroll with self, a voyage to return to self.

As the life of one returns, the life of the other depletes, an inevitable and cyclical bond.

Une Conversation avec la Morte / A Conversation with Death
February 2024
Acrylic & Watercolor
24" x 30"

A ethereal conversation with self.

A profound interaction illuminated and guided by the Blue Moon.

Occurring in a place standing between space and time,

beginning and end.

Retour à la Vie / Back to Life

March 2024

Acrylic & Watercolor

24" x 30"

The return.

After many lives, and many deaths, rebirth is predestined. The vessel shifts to transparency, revealing the internal self.

The aura illuminates the life force, the flower of life holds the mind space, the hand with the gift of evolution.

Le début de la fin / The Beginning of the End

April 2024

Acrylic & Watercolor

24" x 30"

A revisit to a higher dimension. Dream-like and familiar, quiet and unfolding.

The past and future adjacent, sitting on stretches of land, challenging linear time.

Where one may seem to find a resolution, another commencement will reveal itself. An endless and graceful unraveling.

Théâtre de la Lune Bleue / The Blue Moon Theatre

June 2024

Acrylic & Watercolor

24" x 30"

Weaving between dimensions, time and space collapse leaving the self to only experience the eternal moment.

Through doorways and back stage, past and future planes begin to morph into a tangible present for further exploration of self.

Par Deux Portes A la Fois / Through Two Doors at Once

July 2024

Acrylic & Watercolor

10"

Inspired by Dick Termes using his 6-point perspective system he developed in 1968 as well as the book Through Two Doors at Once by Anil Ananthaswamy.

The Blue Moon, the ticking clock, and two doors parallel in dimensions.

The self explores the corridors, dancing with the present moment that endlessly unfolds between the two. On a path of discovery and rediscovery, bounded by space and time, released by alignment with divine higher self.
