PERFUME AS A CONTINUATION OF PAINTING

Oceano Viola is a fragrance that comes from a gesture already made, collects the light of the paintings and amplifies the vibration of the Lynchian ocean.

Translating that vision into smell, into subtle presence, the fragrance preserves a further existence with the dramatic patience of the iris: its rhizome, a horizontal and fleshy root, absorbs the wait and transforms it into aromatic memory. Years pass before its scent blooms. And it is precisely this long gestation that gives it depth.

The flower fades quickly. The rhizome, on the other hand, resists. And he sings his silent nobility.

She sings without a voice, but with the timbre of contemplative beauty.

In the liturgical season, the iris accompanies the gesture of recollection. In sacred rooms, burnt rhizomes purify the air and thought.

In the Middle Ages, it was kept next to altars, as an aromatic bridge between earth and sky. Chastity and fire, purity and desire, discipline and vision coexist in its aroma.

Art has grasped its luminous contradictions: in Japanese gardens the iris suggests balance and grace; in Van Gogh’s paintings it becomes a desperate and glorious gesture, blossoming in a field of questions.

The iris offers a depth that heals and messes up. It leads to places where interiority can germinate, without haste, without clamour, with all the strength of what emerges from what has remained guarded for a long time.
