Enter a world of mysticism and hidden meaning with Alexandria Whatley’s The Magician. This original graphite artwork depicts the serene yet commanding visage of a wise old man, his head floating above tranquil waters and encircled by a golden ouroboros – a timeless emblem of eternity and renewal. Rooted in the principles of Hermetic philosophy, this piece embodies the phrase "As Above, So Below; As Within, So Without", inviting reflection on the profound connections between the inner self and the cosmos.
But the magic doesn’t end there. When illuminated by black light, UV-reactive ink reveals a hidden dimension: glowing, ethereal eyes and a Hermetic symbol emerge, transforming the artwork into an interactive and dynamic exploration of light, wisdom, and universal truth.
Perfect for collectors of esoteric art and those captivated by philosophical themes, The Magician blends exquisite detail with otherworldly allure, making it a centerpiece for any space. This one-of-a-kind piece is as much a visual delight as it is a thought-provoking journey into the mysteries of existence.
