The piece titled "Time Traveller" unfolds as an evocative mosaic of hues, inviting the viewer into a realm of abstraction imbued with layers of meaning. At first glance, the harmonious interplay of blues and pinks suggests a delicate balance, reminiscent of the transition between dawn and dusk. However, as the eyes wander, fragments of a face emerge, both puzzling and intriguing in its fragmented representation. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Fayum mummy portraits, the artwork weaves together the past with the contemporary. The Fayum portraits, known for their intimate and realistic portrayal of the deceased, come alive in "Time Traveller" in a modern interpretation. Instead of a direct depiction, the face in this piece is hinted at through geometric planes and color blocks, suggesting the fleeting nature of time and the constant transformation of identity. Yet, there is an undeniable connection between the two eras, bridged by the artist's choice of colors and forms. The soft pastel shades echo the color palette often observed in Fayum portraits, while the fragmented face serves as a reminder that though time moves forward, our innate human essence and desire for remembrance remain constant. "Time Traveller" suggests the timelessness of art and the human spirit's perpetual journey through the epochs. Within the "Renewals" series, "Time Traveller" emerges as a pivotal piece, encapsulating the series' essence of rebirth and cyclical transitions. The artwork's introspective reflection on identity and time resonates with the series' overarching theme, reminding us that renewal is not just about moving forward, but also about embracing and reinterpreting the past. As with other pieces in the series, "Time Traveller" underscores the belief that every end is a new beginning, and every moment in time is an opportunity for renewal and transformation

Luna Ljus, a multidisciplinary artist originating from Brazil, presents a diverse portfolio centered around the motif of metamorphosis. Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
