I have always been drawn to the unseen — to the beauty, the meaning, and the stories that live beneath the surface.
Beyond the Senses
My path has been a dialogue between intuitive wisdom and structured understanding, between the rational and the mystical. To me, creativity is the bridge between these two worlds — a way to transcend logic and open up to the truths of the heart.
It is where the abstract world of air and ideas meets the tangible world of matter, where the invisible becomes visible and the ordinary turns luminous. Yet, I’ve always wondered: how do I keep the unseen alive?
There is a moment — silent and almost invisible — when perception shifts, when the daily details reveal their magic. My journey began with a simple impulse: to hold beauty before it disappeared. As a child, I would collect what I could — pebbles, feathers, paper scraps — small fragments of presence. But soon I understood that what truly moved me could not be kept: beauty was always elsewhere — in the sunlight drifting across a room, in the scent of my grandmother’s kitchen, in the sounds of nature at dawn.
These fleeting details became the foundation of my sensibility — an awareness that beauty lives not in possession, but in perception. Over time, that sensitivity became a practice: learning to reveal what lies beneath the visible. My work now lives in that space between the seen and the felt — where form becomes meaning, and meaning becomes experience.
Esencia Chronicles: A Living Space of Awareness
Esencia Chronicles was born from this search — to give form to what cannot be held, to keep the unseen alive. It is not a magazine, and not quite a personal blog, but an evolving space where I translate what I sense into words, images, and ideas.
A place where beauty becomes language and awareness becomes form.
Here, creativity is about seeing beyond. It is about revealing essence and bringing hidden layers to light. Each story you will find here belongs to one of four living constellations — different ways of perceiving the world:
The language of the inner world.
A collection of poetic reflections and confessions — the stories I tell to myself, and to the silence that listens back. Where emotion becomes narrative, and vulnerability becomes clarity.
A meditation on spaces and their invisible atmospheres.
Architecture, interiors, cities, and landscapes — each place holds a vibration, a memory, an essence waiting to be distilled. Here, I explore how spaces speak — not through form, but through feeling.
An ongoing conversation between the visible and the spiritual.
Essays on natural beauty, archetypes and rituals, ways of living, and the sacred in the ordinary. A journal of daily awakenings — where philosophy meets the scent of coffee, and contemplation meets sunlight.
A slow unveiling of creative intention.
Stories of artists, designers, and makers who shape meaning with their hands — where craftsmanship becomes meditation.
A Map of Perceptions
Together, these four chapters form Esencia Chronicles — a living atlas of perception, a map of stories that invites you to pause, to look closer, to feel beyond the surface.
I hope that as you read and wander through these living narratives, you find echoes of your own essence reflected — a reminder that beauty is not what we see, but how we see.
Welcome to Esencia Chronicles — a space to sense, remember, and begin again.
