A universe in perpetual motion
With Pantha Rhei, Achao pays tribute to Heraclitus’ philosophy: everything flows, nothing is fixed. His canvases, where organic patterns and intertwined lines unfold, invite the gaze to a circular drift, like a meditation on the ephemeral. Inspired by the bas-reliefs of the Dhamek Stupa and Matisse’s cut-outs, this series captures the energy of a world in constant reformation. The transparencies and superpositions create a poetic blur, evoking the precariousness and beauty of natural cycles. The large formats, suspended freely, amplify this sensation of immersion, transforming the space into a visual and spiritual experience. A quest for harmony where each motif, however fleeting, becomes a metaphor for life.
