IN PRINCIPIO

“IN PRINCIPIO -In the beginning…”
 
There are moments
that are not yet a beginning.
 
They come before.
 
Before form appears.
Before matter takes shape.
Before the world receives its names.
 
There is only possibility.
 
A silent space
where everything is still being created -
without boundaries,
without structure,
without a name.
 

 
This is the place from which this painting was born.
 

 
It does not speak of what already exists.
 

 
It speaks of the moment
when everything is still possible.
 

 
Of light that has not yet become light.
 
Of earth that has not yet become earth.
 
Of thought that has not yet become a word.
 

 
White leaves space.
Blue opens a depth.
Delicate traces of earth appear like the first matter -
not as a form,
but as its promise.
 

 
Nothing here is final.
 

 
And perhaps this is precisely why
everything remains possible.
 

    
 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
 
 
 Genesis 1:1 
 
Bereshit.
 

 
In the beginning.
 
Even before
what can be seen,
touched and named.
 
There, where everything
is only beginning to emerge.
 

 
IN PRINCIPIO.
 
Not the beginning of something.
 
But the space
from which everything may begin.
