“Iris of the sea and lips of thorns.
 All that could have been
 It's an echo drowned in the eyes.
 The touch of your soul made my heart explode.
 And of me nothing remains but the firmament"


 Hi, I'm Barbara, and I want to tell you the true story behind this painting.
 This painting, "Supernova - The Rebirth," is perhaps the most intimate and powerful piece I own. As an artist, there comes a moment when the work stops being just color and becomes a mirror, and for me, that's me.

 ✨ The True Story: From the Storm to the Firmament

 "Supernova" is the story of a transformation.
 The first version of this painting was lost, destroyed by a storm during one of my exhibitions. It was a terrible blow, reminding me how life's trials can strip away colors, just as the storm did to the canvas.
 But that's where the magic lies: I chose not to give up, not to let emptiness win.
 I wanted to bring it back to life, no longer on canvas, but on a new and delicate support: 100% cotton paper.

 This is the new Supernova you see. It's the same at heart, but it's changed, just as I have.
 It symbolizes how pain (the explosion, the Supernova) does not destroy, but rather frees the truest part of us, transforming the darkness into a firmament of possibilities.
 When you look at this picture (, you are seeing resilience.
 You are seeing proof that even after the end, the universe remains.
