2025 COLLECTION: HECATE

 

HECATE 2025 Collection The Hecate series engages the figure not as myth, but as a structural threshold. Darkness is approached as a field of transition rather than negation — a space in which perception shifts and reorients. Each painting examines this passage through restraint, material density, and controlled illumination, articulating a movement between dissolution and clarity. Chapter 01: ‘Hecate finds the way’ 2025 Collection: Hecate M. Verónica Arís Zlatar Oil on linen mounted on panel, 30x40cm Brussels, Belgium I withdrew from the theatre of noise. What could not align dissolved on its own. The structure I had sustained collapsed — what remained was essential. Silence was not absence, but orientation. Chapter 02: ‘The silence of Hecate’ 2025 Collection: Hecate M. Verónica Arís Zlatar Oil on linen mounted on panel, 30x40cm Brussels, Belgium   The storm of the world faded. Its theatre dissolved — sound by sound. Then came the hush. A pulse beneath the skin, older than thought, speaking through presence. Flesh remained the only truth, and within it, quiet certainty. Here and now. Entirely. Chapter 03: ‘Recollecting her mission’ 2025 Collection: Hecate M. Verónica Arís Zlatar Oil on linen mounted on panel, 30x40cm Brussels, Belgium   I wonder what it is to be, beyond names, roles, and echoes. Above, something ancient stirs — a subtle geometry rearranging in the dark. Each breath realigns me with a design not of time, but of the soul. Chapter 04: ‘The triumph of Hecate’ 2025 Collection: Hecate M. Verónica Arís Zlatar Oil on linen mounted on panel, 30x40cm Brussels, Belgium   I have walked through shadow until darkness became a language. Fire crowns the brow, the dragon rests. Pearls remember the depths touched, wisdom born from the trembling of the soul. Time bends, the past whispers its lessons. I know the weight of night,  and yet I'm crowned by fire, to see the unseen, to speak without words.
