Mystic Mix

2020 - 2021
This collection of prints was not conceived as a series from the start, but rather emerged organically—a body of work created during the same period, as I began studying Kabbalah and Tarot. Each piece weaves together mystical symbols from these disciplines, reflecting a journey of exploration and transformation.

At its core, these compositions speak to the delicate balance between our creative power and the greater forces that shape our path. It is an inquiry into the duality of existence—our ability to shape reality through will and intention, and the inevitable moments where we must surrender to life when things unfold beyond our control. Between these two forces, somewhere in the space between action and acceptance, our path is traced.

The metaphysical principle of Mentalism prays that “the Universe is mental, the Mind is All”. Everything is created by the Great Mind, in which we all exist. At the same time, as fractals, we are creative minds as well. This image is a reminder, a call to rule your own life and your own reality.

"I create as I speak". That is the ancient meaning of the word Abracadabra. Our thoughts and our words create our own realities. We can make magic and manifest what we want in our lives if we are determined to rule our own thoughts.
