Beginning, Anush Babayan, H: 30″

Description

Anush considers her paintings visual prayers and meditations, guiding viewers to connect their personal microcosm with the universal cosmos while discovering balance and harmony within. With Beginning, she invites the viewer into a metaphysical genesis—a moment where universal consciousness takes form as a symbolic Tree of Life. Set within an ethereal, celestial matrix, the tree grows not from earth but from energy, crowned by a radiant eye or sun-like form at its apex. The branches reach outward and upward, bearing fruit-like orbs that shimmer with energetic patterns, while the background flows in hues of violet, amber and soft cosmic whites.

The piece exudes both motion and stillness, echoing mythic origins from many spiritual traditions while remaining deeply personal and intuitive. Babayan’s tactile layering and organic forms conjure the sense that we are witnessing perhaps not only the birth of the universe, but the awakening of the soul.
