Description
Creacion Con Rayos Astrales - Creation Using Astral Rays - esoteric painting by Spanish-Mexican artist Remedios Varo.
In this painting, Varo explores the symbolism of mirrors as mystical tools of divination, magic, and transformation. With the multiple refractions of light—bouncing between the emerald-green stars and mirrors and the spectral, gossamer-like body—she emphasizes the cosmic synergies of (androgynous) man in an enchanted, elemental universe.
The painting takes as its source the cover illustration by Johann Heinrich Störchlin of the third volume of Beati Raymundi Lulli doctoris illuminati et martyris Operum, published in Mainz in 1722.
