🔮 The Concept
Tenebra Lucentia embodies the paradox of fear and illumination. Inspired in part by the iconic mask from Scream (1996), the work transcends its origins to become a cosmic metaphor: fear itself as a torch, guiding the traveler into new dimensions of awareness.
Through its symmetrical forms, layered textures, and subtle contrasts, the painting suggests that within darkness lies the seed of transformation.
