Critical analysis of the work “Alchemy” by Aisté Jugilaité
In the work “Alchemy” (100×60 cm), Aisté Jugilaité immerses us in an atmosphere of exploration and transformation, faithful to its central theme of transmutation — a process that alchemy has always sought to symbolize. This abstract composition is dominated by a subtle interaction of shapes and colors, creating a scene that is both enigmatic and evocative, where the elements seem to be constantly evolving, merging and dissociating in a play of light and transparency.
The choice of pastel tones, whites, blues and oranges meet and blend and evoke a certain fluidity and lightness reminiscent of the alchemical process. This subtle play of colors creates a sensation of movement, as if the canvas itself was in mutation, recalling the passage from the raw state to the refined state, from chaos to harmony. The touches of blue, which emerge here and there, contrast with the bursts of orange. They reinforce this idea of an energy evolution.
In this painting, the abstraction leaves a lot of room for the viewer's imagination. The shapes are suggested, rather than imposed, which allows everyone to perceive in the work what their own gaze projects there. The effects of transparency and the superpositions of layers of paint amplify this evanescent dimension. They evoke the mystical quest of alchemists to transform lead into gold, but also to achieve a form of inner perfection.
The center of the composition is less defined, as if to suggest that the outcome of the alchemical process, whether material or spiritual, remains elusive, an infinite quest. There is a mystery between what is revealed and what remains hidden, a duality between the visible and the invisible which reflects the very nature of alchemy.
