Something like a black light,
directed at the eyes.
Dark matter,
bile of distance.

Qualcosa come una luce nera,
diretta agli occhi.
Materia oscura,
bile della lontananza.

How boring to pretend endlessly, to build artificial smiles in the illusion that happiness coexists with forcing oneself to be happy. Why, I wonder, can't we simply suffer in peace, and fully savor reality?

“Congrats on the party”
Totalbuio

Che noia mortale fingere all’infinito, costruire sorrisi artificiali nell’illusione che la felicità coesista con il costringersi a essere felici. Perchè, mi chiedo, non possiamo semplicemente soffrire in santa pace, e assaporare pienamente la realtà?

Strange the light in the early hours of the morning,
reopens a thousand doors
that await my step.
Who knows what speed will take us to tomorrow.
What place will it be, tomorrow?

Strana la luce alle prime ore del mattino,
riapre mille porte
che attendono il mio passo.
Chissà quale velocità ci porterà al domani.
Quale posto sarà, domani?

Ereshkigal & Inanna

L’unione prima delle parole.

“Non si diventa illuminati immaginando figure di luce, ma rendendo consapevole l’oscurità.”
— C.G. Jung

Nel mito sumerico più antico del mondo, Inanna scende negli inferi e incontra sua sorella Ereshkigal — la parte di sé che aveva sepolto nell’oscurità. Non può risalire senza averla guardata negli occhi.
Questo dipinto è quella soglia.
Il momento in cui smetti di fuggire dalla tua ombra e inizi a tenerla per mano.

Totalbuio 🤟

Ereshkigal & Inanna

The union before words.

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” — C.G. Jung

In the oldest Sumerian myth, Inanna descends into the underworld and meets her sister Ereshkigal — the part of herself she had buried in darkness. She cannot rise again without looking her in the eyes. This painting is that threshold. The moment you stop running from your shadow and begin to hold its hand.

ψ – La danza dell’Onda

Nulla esiste in sé. Tutto è vuoto.
La relazione, rivela.

L’io, come il mondo, è un riflesso momentaneo —
una vibrazione tra chi guarda e chi è guardato.
‘Non c’è realtà senza relazione’
insegna Carlo Rovelli
‘Non c’è sè che duri’
afferma il pensiero Buddhista
‘Ció che vediamo è rappresentazione, non sostanza’
spiega Schopenhauer.

Siamo onde che si infrangono a vicenda, un istante di coscienza che illumina, e svanisce dentro all’oceano.

ψ – The dance of the Wave

Nothing exists on its own. Everything is empty.
Relation reveals.

The self, like the world, is a fleeting reflection —
a vibration between the one who sees and the one who is seen.

“There is no reality without relation,” teaches Carlo Rovelli.
“There is no self that endures,” whispers Buddhist thought.
“What we perceive is representation, not substance,” reminds Schopenhauer.

We are waves colliding with one another —
a brief shimmer of consciousness
that lights up, then dissolves back into the ocean.

🌫 “Petii quae debita nullo tempore mortis / munera…”
(“Chiesi in dono la vita eterna, ma non la giovinezza.”) — Ovidio, Metamorfosi XIV

🔮 La Sibilla non muore, ma svanisce. Resta intrappolata nel tempo che consuma tutto tranne la coscienza. Vive senza vivere, parla senza voce, profetessa condannata a sussurrare nel vuoto. E noi, come lei, eterni nei feed, ma sfocati dentro.

🪞 Guardala bene: potresti essere tu, domani.

‘Sibilla’

🌫 “Petii quae debita nullo tempore mortis / munera…”
(“I asked for the gift of eternal life, but not of youth.”) — Ovid, Metamorphoses XIV

🔮 The Sibyl does not die — she fades. Trapped in a time that erodes everything but awareness. She lives without living, speaks without a voice, a prophetess condemned to whisper into the void. And we, like her, eternal in the feed, but blurred within.

🪞 Look closely: she might be you, tomorrow.

“ Ixchel de lunas
de canciones de cuna
mar en pleno
naufragio
presagio
de una herida mortal”

⸻

✨

“Ixchel di lune,
di ninne nanne sussurrate,
mare in pieno naufragio,
presagio
di una ferita mortale”

⸻

“Ixchel of moons,
of whispered lullabies,
sea in full shipwreck,
omen of a mortal wound.”

— Venus Ixchel Mejía, da Diosas

‘Ixchel’
Totalbuio

🌙 Ixchel – La veggente delle maree

Ixchel, la madre ombra, la curandera del tempo.
Portava con sé l’eco dell’acqua e i segreti che scorrono nei sogni.

Non chiede di essere vista, ma ricordata.
È la ferita e la cura, la notte che si scioglie all’alba.
Ho lasciato che il suo volto emergesse tra le trame del digitale, come se stesse tornando a sé stessa.

Non è solo un ritratto.
È una soglia.

Sto entrando in un nuovo capitolo creativo. 🎨✨ Dopo tanto sperimentare, sento finalmente emergere uno stile che parla davvero di me — più autentico, più personale. Non è solo arte digitale, è la mia voce, le mie emozioni, la mia visione. Sono entusiasta di condividere questo viaggio con voi e vedere dove mi porterà. Restate con me, il meglio deve ancora venire. 🚀

🌙 Ixchel – The Seer of the Tides

Ixchel, the shadowed mother, the healer of time.
She carries the echo of water and the secrets that flow through dreams.

She doesn’t ask to be seen, but to be remembered.
She is both the wound and the healing, the night dissolving into dawn.
I let her face rise through the digital weave, as if she’s coming back to herself.

This is more than a portrait.
It’s a doorway.

I’m stepping into a new creative chapter. 🎨✨ After much exploration, I finally feel a style emerging that truly reflects who I am — more authentic, more personal. This isn’t just digital art; it’s my voice, my emotions, my vision. I’m excited to share this journey with you and see where it leads. Stay tuned—the best is yet to come. 🚀

“I sing of Hecate Trivia, gracious guardian of ways,
of earth, sea, and sky, cloaked in saffron light,
of tombs and spirits, dancing with the dead,
daughter of Crius, companion of the noble stag’s solitude,
nocturnal watcher of hounds, queen unconquered,
her coming heralded by the beasts’ fierce cry,
unbelted and unbroken, bull-tamer,
Keeper of the Cosmos’ Keys,
wanderer of mountain heights, guide and nymph,
nurturer of the young,
to the maiden who prays to witness sacred rites
to her, Hecate is ever kind,
rejoicing in the hearts of her faithful.”
Esiodo  
“Celebro Ecate trivia, amabile protettrice delle strade, terrestre e marina e celeste, dal manto color croco, sepolcrale, baccheggiante con le anime dei morti, figlia di Crio, amante della solitudine superba dei cervi, notturna protettrice dei cani, regina invincibile, annunciata dal ruggito delle belve, imbattibile senza cintura, domatrice di tori, signora che custodisce le chiavi del cosmo, frequentatrice dei monti, guida, ninfa, nutrice dei giovani,  della fanciulla che supplica di assistere ai sacri riti, benevola verso i suoi devoti sempre con animo gioioso.”
Esiodo

‘Ecate’
Totalbuio

Ho messo in pausa il mio solito stile per lasciarmi guidare dall’acqua e dal colore.
Questa è la mia prima esplorazione con l’acquerello — un esperimento, un gesto spontaneo, un modo diverso di ascoltare il segno.
A volte, cambiare medium è come cambiare voce. E questa mi sta dicendo cose nuove.

⸻

I paused my usual style to let water and color guide me.
This is my first exploration with watercolor — an experiment, a spontaneous gesture, a different way of listening to the line.
Sometimes, changing medium feels like changing your voice. And this one is telling me something new.
