Still in my daydream about Sumerian legends. Here is the goddess Ninhursag, wife of Enki, goddess of the Earth and plants, creator of homo sapiens; the first Adamic is created with mud and "blood" of the Anunnakis and the first Adamic woman with a rating from Enki, god of sky and water. The term “adam” translates to “man.”
Still in my daydream about Sumerian legends.
Here is the goddess Ninhursag, wife of Enki, goddess of the Earth and plants, creator of homo sapiens; the first Adamic is created with mud and "blood" of the Anunnakis and the first Adamic woman with a rating from Enki, god of sky and water.
The term “adam” translates to “man.”
The top of Ninhursag's head, middle left of the painting, is inspired by the "Pillars of Creation". The Pillars of Creation are columns of interstellar dust and gas in the Eagle Nebula 6,500 light years from Earth, in the constellation Serpent, in the middle of the Milky Way. It is a place where new stars form.
I wanted to mark the creativity of this goddess in terraforming planet Earth.
On each side of his face, cascades of stellar water flow which join the primordial sea, the lower third of the canvas. Salt water is feminine for the Sumerians while fresh water is masculine. These two liquid elements generate "new primordial elements from which the other gods are born and from which the Earth arises..."
I painted an isosceles triangle on Ninhursag's forehead pointing towards the nose as a symbol of her femininity. Inside, I painted wings because this goddess is always represented with them but also because the wings are the symbol of her creative work. These wings surround a caduceus shape made up of three Quark elements, the preons, red spherical shapes, surrounded by green DNA ribbons. The end of this caduceus, towards the tip, is a drop of blood.
I wanted to express the link that exists between the cosmos and human beings through the quark (the smallest celestial particle) and DNA as well as interpret the work of Ninhursag as a geneticist (after Michel Deseille).
I reinforced this interpretation by painting, at the top right, of his face stars which give rise to the double helix structure of DNA which ends in a human cell, middle of the painting.
The magnification of the human cell allows me to express that “All is in One and One is in the All” by drawing a parallel between the stellar world and the world of a cell.
From the bottom left 1/5th of the painting to the top right 1/4th, I painted a DNA double helix, a shade of green with its cells in yellow, white and sienna. Towards the middle of the canvas, a little to the right, below the enlarged cell, I painted the first Adamic woman, homo sapiens who rushes into life.

Self-taught, I like the tempos, the finesse, the touch of oil paint. I paint my dreams, my memories, my love of nature and its landscapes, my search for the meaning of life, the passing moment, in complete freedom, since 1998.  

The experience of death made me understand the belonging of All in One, the symbiosis of the cosmic with nature and living beings, love as universal healing.

Now I convey my emotions, and share the light of love, of life and the freedom to be.
