In this powerful digital composition, Gérald Gaboriau reimagines the mythic encounter between Inanna and her sister Ereshkigal, the formidable Queen of the Underworld in Sumerian mythology. The artwork’s deep black masses evoke the abyssal depths of Kur, the land of no return ruled by Ereshkigal, while vivid crimson bursts symbolize the violence and transformation at the heart of this legendary descent.
The composition’s torn textures and stark color contrasts mirror the perilous journey through the seven gates of the underworld, each gate stripping Inanna of her divine attributes. The red fragments suggest ritual death and rebirth, echoing the brutal metamorphosis that Inanna undergoes in her sister’s shadowed realm. Gaboriau’s gestural abstraction captures the instant when Inanna’s light confronts Ereshkigal’s darkness-a visual meditation on the duality of life and death, upper and lower worlds, and the eternal cycle of descent and renewal.
Created with Chinese ink, acrylic, and charcoal pigments, the original painting (40 x 50 cm) was digitized and reworked in red and black, heightening the drama of this foundational Sumerian myth. The work fuses contemporary abstract expressionism with the meditative discipline of Sumi-e, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife and the transformative power of myth.
Available as fine art prints, canvas, or metal editions. Worldwide shipping, certificate of authenticity, and satisfaction guarantee.

Gérald Gaboriau: Contemporary Calligraphy Artist and Self-Taught Creator
From shadow to light, Gérald Gaboriau embodies a unique artistic journey, marked by a quest for authentic and liberating expression. Born in 1977 in Saint-Cloud (France), this self-taught artist has transformed his personal exploration into a distinctive artistic signature, where color transcends matter to touch the soul.
Passionate about calligraphy and contemporary art, Gaboriau boldly fuses ancient Japanese traditions with Western contemporary expression. Through the practice of Sumi-e, he captures the essence of emotions in a single fluid stroke, creating works where the contrast between deep black and luminous white becomes a powerful metaphor for the balance between shadow and light. Each creation is the result of a meditative process, embodying the Zen philosophy of the present moment and perfect harmony between technical mastery and creative surrender.
His artistic approach draws from a diverse range of inspirations: ancient mythologies, Eastern philosophies, and immersive sensory experiences. Using noble materials such as premium Chinese ink, Raphaël brushes, and traditional Japanese paper, he skillfully blends millennia-old traditions with a resolutely contemporary vision. His works transcend boundaries between abstraction and symbolic narration, inviting each viewer to a unique introspective experience.
Mural art takes center stage in his work. Gaboriau designs his creations as immersive spaces capable of transforming living or working environments into sanctuaries of regenerative energy. His murals organically interact with surrounding architecture, subtly playing with natural light to create vibrant and memorable atmospheres.
After overcoming significant personal challenges, Gaboriau discovered in art a powerful tool for inner transformation. This revelation profoundly influenced his artistic practice, which he enriched with an approach where every creative gesture becomes a vector for emotional and spiritual rebirth. Today, he develops custom-made creations as well as spaces for free expression that allow each person to explore their own inner journey.
In 2025, Gérald Gaboriau offers a complete and transformational artistic experience. More than an artist, he positions himself as an emotional guide and conduit to inner resonance. His works are not simply paintings: they become mirrors of the soul where each viewer can find a deep echo of their aspirations and existential questions.
