Experience “Cycle of Life and Death – Homage to Inanna”: abstract art where myth, transformation, and cosmic cycles merge in a powerful visual meditation.

In this evocative abstract composition, Gérald Gaboriau merges the timeless myth of Inanna with a contemporary visual language, offering a synesthetic exploration of the Sumerian goddess’s descent, death, and rebirth. Created with an innovative blend of ink and charcoal pigments on 130 gsm paper, the work embodies Inanna’s journey into the Underworld-a narrative of sacrifice, transformation, and cosmic renewal.

Circular forms dominate the composition, symbolizing the infinite cycles of birth, death, and rebirth at the heart of Sumerian mythology. Sinuous lines trace a passage between worlds, evoking both the perilous journey of the goddess and the universal quest for meaning. The vibrant interplay of incandescent red and deep black reflects the duality of passion and primordial mystery, while Gaboriau’s intuitive, Sumi-e–inspired brushwork channels the immediacy of raw emotion and ancient energy.

This piece is more than a visual homage; it is a meditative portal inviting viewers to contemplate their own cycles of transformation. The mythological abstraction becomes a universal language, bridging the archaic and the contemporary, the fleeting and the eternal, in a celebration of the cosmic rhythms that Inanna so powerfully embodies.
