Edvige Cecconi Meloni, Nothing Belongs to Him, Yet Everything Happens to Him

400,00 

Nothing Belongs to Him, Yet Everything Happens to Him is the second work in the series by Edvige Cecconi Meloni inspired by La Grande Triade by René Guénon. The piece measures 35 × 50 cm and is created using mixed media: watercolor, Ecoline, graphite, and Pantone. The title is a paradox that finds resolution only in the image: the one who possesses nothing is also the one who receives everything; the one who empties themselves is the one through whom the world flows. Not an absence, but a complete openness to what happens.

Description

At the center of the composition, a large sun dominates, radiating its golden light across the entire space. Beside it, a nearly hidden crescent moon acts as a discreet presence, balancing the composition. Sky and celestial bodies are not a background—they are active subjects, cosmic principles presiding over the scene.

Beneath them, three crowned figures in red and pink—the same beings recurring throughout the series, part jester and part deity—receive the light, bathed in its rays without moving toward it. They stand on golden pedestals with the same mannequin-like mechanical legs: present without belonging to themselves.

In the foreground, a golden Baroque element—richly adorned with scrolls, flourishes, and a small hanging lantern—functions as a threshold, as if it were a passage structure, the place where events settle.

The turquoise background is animated by stars and watercolor clouds, while the characteristic double-lined frame in yellow and black defines the space like a curtain.
