The painting "Alchemical Realism 1" (Pour not water, pour milk) is a modern alchemical parable about the birth of a New Era. At the center of the composition is an armadillo, a creature whose armor reflects not fear, but the wisdom of survival and inner composure. It becomes a symbol of the Age of Aquarius, a time when humanity seeks not the destruction of the old, but a gentle transformation — a transition from the cold water of rationality to the milk of new consciousness, nourishing the Spirit.
The phrase "Pour not water, pour milk" sounds like a mantra of new sensitivity. It calls to replace the flow of informational noise with a flow of compassion, warmth, true nourishment for the soul.
Above the armadillo hovers a golden egg, the center of Spiritual birth, the source of Light and primal matter from which all living things are born. It unites Alchemical archetypes — the sun, the embryo, and the symbol of the feminine principle.
Around it is a mosaic of color fragments, like rays of inner Light scattering across the world. Red, blue, ochre, and golden planes create a dynamic reminiscent of stained glass, through which the radiance of consciousness shines.
This work is a visual formula of transition, where the armadillo embodies the physical and earthly, and the golden egg — the Spiritual and cosmic. In their meeting, the Alchemy of new harmony is born.
"The Age of Aquarius, its symbol the armadillo."
