Transformation / Le Début (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Yulia KESTENER

What you see before your eyes is not simply paint on a surface; it is the relief of a passage. It is the visual and tactile testament to a metamorphosis we all know. Each of us, in the course of our existence, traverses periods of profound upheaval. Whether physical, psychological, or spiritual, these phases of transformation are the pillars of our evolution. They jolt us, call our foundations into question, and push us toward a higher level of consciousness. This period can be long, heavy, and painful. It is structured in several layers, in multiple stages that affect every aspect of our lives. But it has an end. On the canvas, this process comes to life through the material. The dense, dark, and pleated textures evoke the weight of trials, the complexity of the psychological layers that one must traverse and leave behind.
