Experience “The Ascension of Marduk – Birth of Order”: abstract calligraphy where cosmic struggle and creation emerge from the tension of black and white.


In this powerful abstract calligraphy, Gérald Gaboriau captures the mythic moment when Marduk, the supreme god of Babylon, rises from primordial chaos to establish cosmic order. Executed in mixed media on A3 paper (charcoal, Chinese ink, black acrylic, Raphael 870 brush, digital chromatic filters), the artwork’s vertical thrust and explosive gestures embody the dramatic emergence of structure from chaos. Aggressive brushstrokes suggest both destruction and creation, while the striking contrast between positive and negative space forms a potent visual metaphor for the cosmic struggle that gave birth to heaven and earth in Mesopotamian mythology.

Gaboriau’s approach fuses the meditative discipline of Sumi-e with contemporary abstraction, channeling the Zen philosophy of the present moment. Each stroke is both instinctive and controlled, reflecting a perfect harmony between technical mastery and creative surrender. The result is a work that transcends boundaries between abstraction and mythic narrative, inviting viewers to contemplate the eternal dance between chaos and order, shadow and light.

This piece is part of Gaboriau’s ongoing exploration of foundational myths through the universal language of calligraphic gesture. Available as fine art prints, canvas, or metal editions. Worldwide shipping, certificate of authenticity, and satisfaction guarantee.
