This painting reflects my interest in alchemy as an inner process of dissolution and renewal. The figures circling the fountain evoke the fons vitae, yet the source of life emerges from their merging forms rather than from any external miracle. Their distortions and fluid boundaries echo alchemical transformation, while the surreal atmosphere nods to Bosch’s imaginative strangeness. Water becomes the catalyst for release and rebirth, turning the fountain into a living spine—a reminder that the true Fountain of Life is an internal, ever-renewing alignment of body and spirit.
