Moving through Worlds is a profound meditation by Colombian artist Stefania Tejada, exploring the deep human desire to move beyond the confines of constructed realities and embrace profound spiritual liberation. The painting invites contemplation of life's transient boundaries, navigating the intricate terrain between consciousness, unconsciousness, and eternal truth.

 

In this realm, symbolic gestures and ritualistic elements guide the viewer toward ancient wisdom and timeless truths. The woman immersed in introspection, softly interacting with symbols of natural purity, embodies the receptive state required to engage with ancestral energies and profound subconscious knowledge. The enigmatic presence of Eve, indicated by the serpent-entwined hand, symbolizes the timeless cycle of curiosity, discovery, and enlightenment—the eternal pull toward deeper understanding.

 

Central to Tejada’s vision is the depiction of rituals aimed at illuminating the rational mind through symbolic transformation. The burning apple, surrounded by carefully prepared ceremonial elements, represents an act of releasing outdated perceptions, allowing clarity and intellectual renewal to emerge.

 

Inspired by Egyptian and indigenous practices, each depicted object resonates with spiritual significance, encapsulating identity, memory, and essential sustenance for metaphysical journeys. These elements serve as anchors for existential contemplation, emphasizing the profound interconnectedness between life, death, and rebirth.

 

The painted curtain, echoing David Lynch’s evocative symbolism, serves as a permeable boundary between known realities and uncharted realms. Its floral motifs and cascading pearls celebrate Latino craftsmanship, subtly reminding viewers of the sacredness embedded in transitional moments.

 

The Umbrella Cockatoo and vibrant parrot, embodiments of dualities—instinctual versus enlightened, earthly versus ethereal—symbolically traverse these metaphysical spaces, underscoring the fluidity of existential boundaries.

 

Ultimately, Moving through Worlds invites reflection upon the nature of paradise, proposing that it lies not in escape but in the conscious rediscovery and acceptance of the rich, spiritual dimension inherent in our lived experiences.
