Once upon a time

tekijä Frank Selen · Tegelen, NL

Once upon a time a time before time. A space not yet shaped by borders, histories, or human stories. Where silence drifted — asking nothing, demanding nothing, losing nothing. A primordial age of the cosmos — before conflict, before war, before judgment. A core of pure existence, where peace did not need to be fought for, but simply was. Color, motion, and mist suggest no place, but a state of consciousness. Perhaps a memory, or a dream of what once was — and might one day return. Perhaps that time of peace will come again. When voices fall silent, desires fade, and the noise of sentient life dissolves into the void. Perfect stillness may not exist with us — but perhaps despite us. In a world full of noise and unrest, the canvas quietly asks: What remains when we let go of all that divides us? Perhaps only color, form, light — and a vast, breathing nothingness that somehow feels like coming home.
