Oil on Canvas - 150cm x 100cm

Hidden Genesis was inspired by transformations that begin in silence and shadow the kind of changes that happen long before they visible.

The piece draws on the symbolism of bats, known for navigating darkness through instinct and representing rebirth in many spiritual traditions. It reflects an unseen metamorphosis, where the new self is already forming beneath the surface.

Around 70% of this work was created using finger-painting technique artists fingerprints are embedded throughout the piece, becoming part of its texture and identity a literal imprint of their presence in its creation.
