Cevenant: Fragile Continuity in the Emergence Series

Cevenant: fragile continuity in the Emergence series

Cevenant is the second artwork in the Emergence series. Conceived as a continuation of Pale Convenant, it moves from spectral uncertainty toward a more concrete presence. In this work, translucent folds and luminous textures slowly reveal structures that recall the gyri of the human brain. It is an image that emerges and recedes, hesitating at the edge of form.

A more tangible presence

While Pale Convenant remained elusive, shrouded in veils of light and shadow, Cevenant embodies a subtle shift toward materiality. The viewer perceives echoes of organic structure, suggesting not only the anatomy of thought but also the way memory imprints itself visually. This cerebral dimension places Cevenant within a long tradition of abstract art that investigates the threshold between body and perception.

Printed as a limited edition

Beyond its digital origin, Cevenant achieves full resonance as a giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a museum-grade paper renowned for its depth and permanence. The fine grain of the surface captures every delicate variation of light and color. Each print is signed, numbered, and offered as a limited edition. Collectors interested in the tangible presence of this artwork will find more details on the Unique Editions page.

Screen-based version

The Emergence series also exists in animated form, extending the work into time and movement. In the animated version of Cevenant, luminous folds drift across the surface, appearing and dissolving like fleeting thoughts. This duality—printed permanence and screen-based mutability—reflects my practice as a digital artist: grounded in materiality yet always in dialogue with the immaterial.

Cevenant availability

Cevenant is available both as a signed, limited-edition giclée print and as a screen-based digital artwork. Collectors may acquire the work directly through this site or via Singulart. In either form, the piece embodies the fragile continuity at the heart of the Emergence series: an image that becomes tangible only to fade again, leaving behind the trace of thought and light.

Pale Convenant and the Emergence Series

Pale Convenant marks the beginning of the Emergence series. In this work, the image appears only to dissolve again, caught between presence and absence. Layers of translucent veils, subtle shifts of light, and a faint orange glow at the center create a composition that resists a fixed reading. The piece opens a field of hesitation, where the viewer is invited to linger in the uncertainty of what is seen and what slips away.

As a Threshold

The title Pale Convenant suggests both an agreement and a fragility, a contract that cannot be fully sealed. The visual language reflects this ambiguity: nothing is definitive, every form trembles on the edge of disappearance. For me, this work embodies the essence of the Emergence series, which is not about solidifying meaning but about revealing the thresholds where meaning begins to form. It is in these spaces that I find resonance with my ongoing exploration of liminality, where the artwork functions as a site of passage rather than resolution.

Materials, Process, and Presentation

As with my other recent works, Pale Convenant exists in two primary forms. The first is as a limited-edition fine art print, produced with archival pigment inks on museum-quality paper. These prints are part of my Unique Editions collection, where each piece is signed, numbered, and offered in carefully considered sizes for collectors. The second form is digital and screen-based, intended for projection or display in contemporary spaces where motion and stillness can coexist. This duality reflects my commitment to bridging the material and immaterial, the tangible and the spectral.

Within a Contemporary Dialogue

Pale Convenant does not exist in isolation. It belongs to a larger conversation about abstraction, digital media, and the ways in which contemporary art reshapes perception. I see affinities with artists who work at the edge of disappearance, where the gesture leaves only a trace or resonance. The dialogues I follow in international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale remind me of the necessity of this exploration: art today is less about permanence and more about experience, about fleeting intensities that stay with us in unexpected ways.

Looking Ahead from Pale Convenant

By beginning with Pale Convenant, the Emergence series sets the tone for what lies ahead. Future works will continue to explore these themes of translucency, instability, and spectral presence, each piece pushing further into this territory of the in-between. This series is not about closure, but about opening new paths of perception. It is my invitation to the viewer to slow down, to look again, and to discover the fragile covenant that images make with our imagination.

In many ways, Pale Convenant represents both a beginning and a promise. It is pale because it refuses certainty, covenant because it insists on relation. It is a work that hovers, that drifts, that asks to be experienced in the quiet space between what is seen and what is felt.
