The five phases

These 20 paintings are inspired by chinese thought. The cross is divided in 5 parts each constituted of 4 paintings. Every phase is connected with one color, one season, one yin organ and one yang organ, one planet, one sense... The composition in the form of a cross is a free interpretation of the complex theory of the 5 phases. The support of each painting is made of linen and is hand-prepared. Several layers of gesso protect the support from different thin layers of high quality oil painting. The total dimension of this composition is 360 x 360 x 2 centimeters.
