Dedans Ainsi Dehors

“Dedans ainsi dehors” explores the essential idea that to transform the outside world, we must first bring about an inner transformation. At the center of the canvas, the mirror represents the third eye, symbolizing the awakened pineal gland. This third eye has sprouted like a sunflower, absorbing the viewer's energy, just as the sunflower captures the sun's light. The mirror thus acts as a portal, integrating you into the creation by capturing and diffusing your own energy through the work.

On the one hand, the canvas illustrates the temptation of the flesh, with a peach tree and a wilted rose entwined like a serpent, recalling the story of Adam and Eve. But here, in a contemporary inversion, it is Adam who succumbs to the 21st-century forbidden fruit, the peach, symbolizing the buttocks and thus carnal sin. This reversal underlines the temptations and choices of the modern world.

A gazelle hypnotizes a lion, subverting the traditional roles of hunter and prey, another symbolic inversion that underlines the power of influence and seduction. Above, the moon, guardian of feminine energies, watches over this scene of contradictions.

In the middle of the canvas, red dice placed on a plant weeping a tear of blood embody chance and the risky choices of life. To the right, another dice, in the shape of a blue heart, is also placed on a plant, symbolizing decisions linked to the heart and emotional wisdom.

Further to the right, Adam is also shown watering a tree in the shape of an anatomical heart, the tree of wisdom. Here, he nourishes his soul, and we see the fruits of his heart, a sign of spiritual growth, blossoming on the branches.

At the top, an energy portal opens, from which butterflies with ear-shaped wings emerge. This visual metaphor illustrates that inner listening leads to transformation, to a genuine personal metamorphosis.

This creation does not advocate a single path, good or bad, but suggests the importance of finding one's own balance between these dualities, in order to achieve authentic, personal enlightenment.
