Eye of the Universe, Anush Babayan, H: 24.25”

Description

In this surreal work, Anush renders an otherworldly vision that seems to call into question the act of perception itself. At the core of the painting, a monumental eye peers from a circular portal—part pyramid, part eclipse—suggesting a cosmic consciousness embedded in sacred geometry.

Veils of flame-like golden light tear through the celestial canvas, fracturing the illusion of separateness and drawing the viewer into communion with something both ancient and omnipresent. The ethereal layering of translucent washes, smoky forms and soft planetary textures creates a paradoxical feeling of both movement and timeless stillness. Babayan here offers not just a painting, but a moment of recognition—a whisper that says, “You are being seen, and known.”
