When we observe artists' preoccupation with mysticism and their attempts to create allegorical imagery, we are actually witnessing humanity's most primal and innocent inquiry into, and interpretation of, the natural order and cosmic forces. Mysticism is regarded as an eternal quest for those things that defy explanation and naming, a human response to the unknown in the universe.
In today's highly technological age, legends and allegories, as archives of human civilization, continue to whisper ancient wisdom to our ears, and we still rely, at times, on irrational means such as divination, spiritual mediumship, customs, rituals, and mythological revelations to seek answers and find solace. The very act of posing questions in such practices reflects humanity's perpetual concern for life's unsolved mysteries, the fundamental driving force in the cognitive process, and the starting point for meaning construction.
The posing of questions inherently carries an expectation of revelation or guidance. Arcane symbols embody the divine, creative, and redemptive images latent within each of us. These enlightening images are often fragmentary, evoking an ambiguous call from within that bridges the internal world with external life, the mundane with the mystical.
Artists utilize the medium of imagery to present their personal visions of spiritual reality, often navigating the crevices between history and the present, reality and dreams. This trajectory is both retrospective and prophetic. Such creations invite viewers to discover individualized meanings within the images—speculations of possibilities, alternative paths of thought, and inspiring intellectual experiences. Answers flourish organically through the iterative cycle of questioning and interpretation.
