Beginning of Time

Random Vision Expression
Style: Organistic
Mixed media on canvas
Original size: 24″ W × 48″ H

Beginning of Time feels like witnessing something before it has fully become. Forms seem to be gathering, separating, and taking shape within a dense field of color, as though matter itself is beginning to organize from an unknown state. There is movement everywhere, but it does not follow a predictable direction. Instead, the painting carries the sensation of formation—the instant when something begins to exist without yet revealing what it will become.

The composition is dominated by crimson, scarlet, deep red, burgundy, rose, muted mauve, and dark plum, with passages of near-black creating depth within the warmer field. Subtle flashes of pale violet and softened light appear between the darker formations. The reds do not behave as a single surface; they shift from luminous and almost translucent passages into dense, shadowed areas, giving the painting an unusual sense of interior space.

Across that space, curved boundaries enclose and release irregular forms. Some seem suspended within larger shapes; others appear to be dividing, expanding, or emerging from one another. Textured deposits and darker branching marks interrupt the smoother passages, creating the impression of processes occurring at different stages simultaneously. Nothing appears finished because everything appears to be becoming.

There is something almost primordial in that uncertainty. Beginning of Time does not present a recognizable beginning—a sunrise, an explosion, or a single point of origin. Instead, it suggests something more mysterious: the beginning before there was a recognizable world, when form, movement, matter, and possibility were still inseparable. The viewer is left to discover what may be forming within it.

As a Random Vision Expression, Beginning of Time embodies the Organistic style of Bereniche Aguiar—where organic forms emerge through color & chance.
