"Archetypes" is my inaugural art odyssey 
— a Baroque symphony of the Human soul, woven in handmade oil paintings 
, echoed through music, etched in plotter designs, 
and born from algorithmic dreams.
More on my 
Manifesto
I don’t paint to decorate walls. I paint to hold up a mirror.
I didn’t choose this mirror. It imposed itself on me the day everything came crashing down. When my body gave out, when the outside world became too heavy, I was forced to descend into myself. It was in this descent that I encountered the figures that dwell within us all. The archetypes. They were not theories. They were alive. They were me, and they were far greater than me. Since then, I have been bringing them out of the shadows.
I paint them in the language of the Baroque, because this style of painting speaks of both light and darkness, of flesh and mystery. It asks more questions than it provides answers, just like life itself.
I do not seek for people to understand my paintings. I seek for people to understand themselves through them.
Each canvas is accompanied by music. Meditative music, designed to create a bubble, to allow the viewer to slow down, to open up, to become receptive.
What I offer is not a simple exhibition. It is a path. Twelve doors. Twelve mirrors. Twelve opportunities to encounter oneself.
I do not claim to be inventing anything new. I am simply picking up a very ancient torch.
Before the tarot became a tool for divination, it was a tool for moral and symbolic education. The great Italian families of the 15th century used it to teach their children about the world.
That is the same intention I hold today.
These twelve paintings are not merely paintings. They are the arcana of a tarot deck in the making. A tarot that does not predict the future, but helps us better interpret the present—that of our own soul.
This project is not an exhibition like any other. It is a modern ritual. The space will be dark, intimate, almost like a boudoir. The canvases will be lit like apparitions, emerging from the shadows.
Those who enter will not simply be visitors. They will be travelers. Free to follow their own path among the twelve archetypes.
My only wish is this: that every person who encounters this work leaves knowing a little more about who they are.
Because the true journey has never been the one that takes us far away. It is the one that brings us back to ourselves.

12 Archetypes
The Mother
“The Mother” embodies Carl Gustav Jung’s Great Mother Archetype: the primordial source of life, nurturing, fertility, protection, wisdom, and the collective unconscious.
In Jungian psychology, this archetype is the foundational maternal image, representing the womb of creation from which consciousness, creativity, and transformation emerge. It blends personal mother experiences with universal forces of sustenance and growth. The central woman in a flowing red gown channels this essence. Red evokes blood, life force, passion, and maternal warmth; the garment’s folds suggest abundance and protective care. Her poised stance and direct gaze portray her as the eternal nurturer stabilizing the psyche.
The ornate mirror she holds symbolizes self-reflection and psychological insight. It represents the Mother’s role in mirroring the self, revealing unconscious depths, and guiding individuation—the birth of consciousness from primal darkness.
The stormy background with dark cliffs contrasts her presence, highlighting the archetype’s duality: the Good Mother (nurturing, life-giving) versus the Devouring Mother (overwhelming, chaotic). The turbulence evokes emotional storms and the unknown, against which she offers resilience and shelter.
The distant village symbolizes culture, community, and order born from maternal generativity, bridging instinct with civilization.
Her bare feet root her in the material realm, connecting spiritual and bodily aspects.
This painting invites reflection on personal and collective ties to the Mother Archetype: its gifts of love, challenges of separation, and role in achieving wholeness. It serves as a visual mandala of the feminine principle in Jungian thought.
The Fool
“The Fool” embodies Carl Gustav Jung’s Fool (or Trickster/Innocent) Archetype: the primordial figure of beginnings, naivety, potential, chaos, and the spontaneous spirit that initiates the journey of individuation.
In Jungian psychology, the Fool represents the eternal child within the psyche—the unformed potential, pure presence, and willingness to step into the unknown. He carries the spark of transformation through folly, paradox, and breaking conventions, often revealing deeper truths via humor, absurdity, and disruption. This archetype bridges the conscious and unconscious, embodying both creative freedom and the risk of self-deception.
The central elderly figure with wise yet playful expression and white beard suggests the Fool’s timeless, ageless nature—wisdom disguised in apparent foolishness. Holding a golden tablet symbolizes sacred knowledge or the “book of life” offered through unexpected means, blending innocence with hidden insight.
The cluster of diverse, expressive laughing faces emerging behind him vividly illustrates the Trickster’s multiplicity: the many masks of the psyche, inner voices, shadow aspects, and the collective unconscious bubbling with chaotic vitality. These faces—joyful, mocking, surprised—evoke the Fool’s role in exposing pretensions, embracing absurdity, and liberating through laughter. They represent fragmented selves, the multiplicity of personality, and the unpredictable forces that challenge rigid ego structures.
Set against a stark black background, the composition emphasizes the archetype’s emergence from void and darkness—the unconscious source from which new possibilities arise. The Fool stands at the threshold, inviting the viewer into the hero’s journey: from naive openness through trials to integrated wholeness.
This painting captures the dual essence of the Fool—foolish yet profound, vulnerable yet powerful—urging confrontation with one’s own inner trickster for growth, creativity, and liberation from stale patterns. It serves as a Jungian reminder that true wisdom often begins in playful surrender to the unknown.
Puer Eternus
“Puer Eternus” embodies Carl Gustav Jung’s Puer Eternus Archetype—the Eternal Youth or Divine Child: the spirit of eternal potential, creativity, innocence, and the timeless boy within the psyche who refuses to fully mature.
In Jungian psychology, the Puer Eternus represents the youthful, winged aspect of the soul—endless possibility, inspiration, spontaneity, and closeness to the unconscious. While embodying beauty, vision, and creative fire, it also carries the shadow of arrested development, flight from reality, and resistance to earthly responsibility.
The painting’s central ethereal youth, with pale luminous skin, flowing two-toned hair, and intense, otherworldly gaze, perfectly captures this archetype’s androgynous, timeless beauty. His upward, dreamy eyes suggest aspiration toward the infinite, spiritual realms, and perpetual wonder. The white lotus flower held gently in his hand symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and the emergence of beauty from darkness—the Puer’s capacity to bring forth new life and insight from the unconscious depths.
The dark, smoky, fluid background evokes the formless void of the collective unconscious from which the Divine Child arises, as well as the risk of dissolution and disconnection from grounded reality. The figure’s floating, almost weightless presence highlights the archetype’s airborne, Peter Pan-like quality—graceful yet untethered.
Overall, this work portrays the Puer Eternus as both gift and challenge: the eternal source of renewal, imagination, and youthful vitality within every psyche, yet a call to balance inspiration with mature integration. The painting invites viewers to embrace their inner Eternal Youth while confronting its shadows, fostering true individuation through creative spirit grounded in conscious life.
