Astrology-Inspired Artwork
As I channel the feeling of what is happening in the sky at certain times, I explore the different palettes, shapes, and textures that transport me to the core meaning of my study. In my process, I visualize how the energy of signs, planets, or aspects translates onto the canvas. And of course I realize that, the deeper I dive into this mysterious realm, the greater is my desire to expressively manifest the tactile version of our non-tangible reality.

Transcending the Cosmic Octave
Transcending the Cosmic Octave is an art installation created as an entry for the OPA Astrology & Art Grant 2022. Inspired by the late April Jupiter-Neptune-Venus conjunction in Pisces, this multidimensional art installation blends painting, music, and dance to explore the energetic influence of this rare astrological event.
Astrologer and visual artist Narayana Montúfar collaborated with musician Gerrit Coetzee, professional dancer Renee Lee, and set designer Alex Drossler to create an atmosphere of ecstasy, mysticism, confusion, colorful delusion, expansion, and pleasure by exploring the light as well as the shadow side of this configuration in the sky.
Five ink and acrylic paintings on translucent paper were specifically made for this installation, immersing the viewer in a visual tide of colorful transcendence.
