Art Journey “Beyond – Stardust Dreams”

Sometimes, an idea begins in the most unexpected way.

This artwork emerged from a meditation in which I saw a single eye before my inner vision—stars and the night sky in the background. This image wouldn’t let go of me.

The idea behind this piece is difficult to put into words because it comes less from the mind and more from a deep feeling. It is about a sense of connection—with the universe, with oneself, and with something greater.

It is a moment of stillness, a glimpse into another world. It is a harmony with oneself and everything that is—an inner energy that takes form as a spiritual companion, a kind of “Spirit Guide.”

This drawing is part of the series Space In Between. It captures fleeting moments in which time seems to stand still, allowing us to experience the transition between dreams and reality.

Perhaps it may inspire others, even if only for a brief moment, to find access to inner peace and a sense of universal connection..
