1- The Principle of Mentalism:
The All is Mind. The Universe is mental.
Mentalism distills the Hermetic foundation into one charged image: the Universe exists within the infinite Mind of God—Source Consciousness, The All—and every human mind is an individuated point within that same boundless Intelligence. This is the relationship the artwork makes visible: not a gap between “God” and “self,” but a continuum—one Mind expressing itself at infinite scale and again as intimate, personal awareness.
The composition centers on a large, stylized eye superimposed over an intricate rendering of a brain, instantly fusing the macrocosmic and microcosmic. The brain—built from translucent, electric-blue lines and a web-like, holographic structure—suggests living circuitry: the subtle mental, energetic substance through which experiential existence is formed. The eye’s iris, rendered in rich green hues and segmented geometry, resembles a clock face, pie chart, or mechanical instrument, introducing an analytical, scientific undertone—an elegant nod to lawfulness: mind is not vague sentiment; it operates by principles. The pupil is intense and black, yet transparent enough to reveal galaxies within it, grounding the central revelation in a single focal point: the cosmos is inside Mind, and Mind is looking through you, from within you, as you.
In Hermetic terms, The All is the infinite field of Source-Consciousness that contains and animates every plane of existence; the individual mind is not separate from that field, but a localized lens of it—capable of awareness, choice, and direction. The layered transparency of the brain against the solid, engineered eye captures that exact interplay: the vastness of Source and the precision of personal perception; intuition and reason; the ocean and the wave. Stars and waveforms radiate across the cosmic background like thought-forms moving through a larger intelligence, while the abstract infinity symbol reinforces the eternal, limitless nature of Mind itself. The combination of stars and waveforms simultaneously represents wave-particle duality, thereby reinforcing the notion of Divine intelligence and the holographic nature of reality. The result is a visually stimulating metaphor that is both clear and deep: your inner world is an essential participant in the orchestration of the mental universe.
For the spiritually serious collector—someone building a home, office, or studio as a sanctuary for intention—Mentalism is more than a striking statement piece. It’s a daily reminder of spiritual leverage: when you refine the quality of your thinking, you align your personal mind with the higher order of The All, and your experience reorganizes accordingly. If you’re ready to live as an intentional participant in conscious creation with Source rather than a bystander of circumstance, bring Mentalism into your space now.
2- The Principle of Correspondence.
As above, so below. As below, so above. As within, so without. As without, so within.
Correspondence invites you into one of the most empowering Hermetic realizations: the Universe is patterned, mirrored, and self-similar—“As above, so below. As within, so without.” In this piece, that truth isn’t presented as a concept—it’s experienced visually. A large, stylized eye rendered in bold, confident lines becomes a living portal of perception, filled with an intricate, repeating fractal pattern in greens and turquoise. The iris is composed of geometric, radiating segments that create depth and motion, suggesting that reality isn’t static—it’s a continuously unfolding pattern of relationships, spanning from the intimate to the infinite.
At the center sits a human figure in a calm, cross-legged meditation pose—stillness inside complexity. The figure’s head is replaced by a smaller, intricate circular eye motif that mirrors the larger eye dominating the image. This repetition across scale is the heart of Correspondence: the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, and the macrocosm reflects the microcosm. The curves and spirals echo organic and cosmic forms at once—like you’re seeing the same “language” of creation repeated in nature, psyche, and the stars. The monochromatic harmony of cool tones keeps the composition focused and tranquil, while the surrounding fractal energy suggests a subtle truth: you don’t find peace by escaping complexity—you find it by learning to see through it.
What makes this artwork especially compelling is how elegantly it ties the spiritual and the practical together. Correspondence isn’t only about cosmic wonder; it’s about the mirrored relationship between your inner world and your outer experience. The meditating figure within the eye becomes a metaphor for the “you-niverse” principle: each person lives at the center of their perceived reality, which organizes itself around subconscious beliefs, dominant thoughts, and emotional momentum. In Hermetic terms, human life moves across mental, emotional, and physical planes—and a shift on one plane ripples into the others. This piece captures that interaction with sophistication: clean geometry meeting fluid fractals, simplicity balanced against layered intricacy, a visual reminder that clarity within produces coherence without.
For the spiritually-minded collector who wants art to do more than look beautiful—who wants their home or workspace to function as a sanctuary for growth—Correspondence is a powerful anchor. It doesn’t just decorate a wall; it reinforces a way of living: refine the inner pattern, and the outer pattern follows. If you’re ready to own a piece that quietly trains your perception toward truth, harmony, and self-mastery, bring Correspondence into your collection now.
3- The Principle of Vibration
Nothing rests; Everything moves and vibrates; Everything is energy.
Vibration brings the Hermetic principle to life with immediate visual force: nothing rests—everything moves, everything vibrates, everything is energy. At the center of this multidimensional composition sits a stylized human figure in a grounded, meditative posture, calmly anchored while the entire scene around it pulses with motion. Fine lines and markings imply perpetual oscillation—an energetic “signature”—as if the body itself is being revealed as a living frequency rather than a fixed object.
A vertical alignment of chakras runs through the figure in vivid traditional color sequence—red at the base rising through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—making the inner spectrum of human consciousness the visual spine of the piece. Surrounding the figure is an intricate lattice of orbital rings and spheres that simultaneously evokes atomic structure and cosmic mechanics, a direct reminder that the micro and macro worlds obey the same energetic law: the “solid” is simply vibration at a slower rate. Behind it all, a vortex of blues and purples and grey, gridded lines that radiate outward in waves and dynamic lines that suggest electromagnetic fields wrapping around both the individual and the planet, held inside a vast stellar universe.
A subtle but potent detail crowns the composition: at the top of an abstract, funnel-like color chart referencing the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness, the phrase “ULTIMATE CONSCIOUSNESS” appears—positioned as a directional North Star. This reinforces a core aspect of Vibration found in lived experience: your “frequency” isn’t just an aesthetic metaphor; it’s reflected in the quality of your mental and emotional state. Love, peace, and clarity represent higher order; fear, guilt, and shame represent contraction and distortion. The artwork goes one step deeper, too—quietly emphasizing that vibration isn’t only about “feeling good,” but about alignment with Truth: the more your subjective perceptions match what objectively is, the more coherent your inner signal becomes—without denial, without spiritual bypassing, without performative positivity.
What makes Vibration especially compelling for spiritually-minded collectors is how cleanly it bridges mysticism and modern science. The atomic/cosmic orbitals, the toroidal-field suggestion, and the chakra column create a unified narrative: thoughts carry an electric charge, emotions carry a magnetic pull, and together they broadcast and attract the kinds of conditions you repeatedly live inside. This piece doesn’t merely invite contemplation—it offers a felt sense of agency. It’s a visual reminder that raising your vibration isn’t about escaping life; it’s about meeting life with higher-quality energy, clearer perception, and a steadier heart.
If you’re building a home or workspace that supports inner growth—and you want art that acts like a tuning fork for your consciousness—Vibration is a powerful anchor piece. Add it to your collection now as a daily, elegant reminder: shift the frequency within, and the world you experience reorganizes around that signal.
The Principle of Polarity
Everything is dual; everything has its poles, and everything has its pairs of opposites.
Polarity captures a Hermetic truth that instantly changes how you interpret your inner life and the world around you: everything is dual; everything has its poles—and what we call “opposites” are essentially the same thing, differing only by degree. In this vivid, surreal composition, teaching becomes a visual language. Two crisp, white theatrical masks—one marked by sadness, the other by joy—float like modernized echoes of tragedy and comedy, their minimalist features and sharp lines making the emotional contrast feel clean, immediate, and unavoidable.
Behind them, two giant red magnets generate an electromagnetic field of swirling blues, pinks, and purples—an energetic stage that suggests polarity isn’t merely psychological; it’s structural, built into the fabric of experience. An oversized battery with a bold positive symbol hangs in the scene, hinting at the “charge” behind every state of mind: the power you give to an interpretation, the vitality you generate through perspective, and the way energy flows when you move toward one pole or the other. On the right, a large thermometer with a red indicator introduces the idea of degree—a subtle but crucial Hermetic nuance. Joy and sadness, love and fear, peace and agitation aren’t always separate realities; they can be understood as points on a continuum, measurable shifts in intensity that can be moderated, refined, and—over time—mastered.
Near the top, a half-red heart floats, while its other half crumbles into broken-line, scribbed doodles, giving form to what polarity often feels like inside: the choice of affection or hatred, safety or fear, confidence or doubt. Yet the deeper invitation of Polarity isn’t to “pick the right mask.” It’s to recognize the underlying unity beneath apparent opposites—to understand that extremes meet, paradoxes can be reconciled, and that many of our most painful conflicts are born from the mind’s tendency to divide the world into “us vs. them,” “good vs. bad,” “right vs. wrong.” When you see polarity clearly, you regain choice: you can shift your degree, soften your extremes, and move toward a more integrated, compassionate perspective that expands consciousness rather than constricts it.
For the spiritually-minded collector who wants art that does more than decorate—a piece that actively supports self-awareness and emotional maturity—Polarity is a powerful anchor. It turns a universal law into a striking visual reminder: your life improves dramatically when you stop fighting the existence of opposites and start learning how to transmute them. If you’re ready to bring more clarity, balance, and unity into your space—and into yourself—add Polarity to your collection now.
The Principle of Rhythm.
Everything flows out and in; Everything has its tides. All things rise and fall. The pendulum swing manifests in everything.
Rhythm meets you with a truth you’ve felt your entire life—even if you’ve never had words for it: everything moves in cycles. The Hermetic Principle of Rhythm teaches that all things rise and fall, advance and retreat, expand and contract—and that this pulse is not a flaw in reality, but a law of it. In this dynamic, visually stimulating composition, time becomes a living force. Large, overlapping clock faces with Roman numerals form a classic black-and-white backdrop, immediately grounding the work in the familiar language of minutes, hours, and “deadlines.” But what unfolds across those clocks suggests something deeper: time is not merely mechanical—it is rhythmic, wave-like, and psychologically intimate.
Concentric circular patterns spiral through the piece like vortexes, creating depth and motion, while black lines of swinging pendulums crisscross the image with prominent spherical orbs in blue and gray—structural markers that feel like the steady swing of inevitability. Then, scattered across the scene, vibrant multicolored spheres—pinks, greens, yellows, blues, and oranges—float like emotional states, opportunities, seasons, and turning points moving through the same cyclical field. Their playfulness against the monochrome clocks is striking: life isn’t only measured—it’s lived, and the lived experience of time is color, mood, meaning, momentum.
At the center, the phrase “Rise Above” appears in white text against a swirling blue-and-orange circular core. This is the Hermetic key. Rhythm describes the swing of the pendulum, but mastery comes from understanding what the principle implies: you don’t have to be dragged helplessly from one extreme to another. With awareness, you can transmute, stabilize, and “step up” a level—meeting life’s cycles with a steadier mind and a stronger center. The black, star-speckled background expands the stage into the cosmic and infinite, reminding the viewer that rhythm governs not only human moods and seasons, but tides, planets, breath, relationships, and eras. This piece makes the law personal: your progress isn’t linear; it’s cyclical—and your power is learning how to work with the cycles instead of fighting them.
For collectors drawn to art that acts like a compass—something that strengthens perspective in a world of constant change—Rhythm is both visually energizing and spiritually grounding. It’s an uplifting reminder that the “downswing” is part of the upswing, and that with clarity, you can rise above reactive extremes into intentional growth. Add Rhythm to your collection now, and let it anchor your space with a message your future self will thank you for: keep moving, keep cycling, keep rising.
The Principle of Cause and Effect
Every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause. Everything happens according to law; Chance is but a name for a law not recognized, aka karma.
Cause & Effect takes a principle most people only half-believe—and makes it impossible to ignore: nothing happens by chance. In Hermetic philosophy, every event has a cause, every outcome is an effect, and what appears to be “randomness” is often just a chain of forces too subtle or complex to see in the moment. This artwork translates that law into a bold, modern symbolic language that feels both cosmic and personal—because the real revelation of Cause & Effect isn’t abstract theory. It’s that your life is being shaped—constantly—by causes you can learn to recognize and intentionally set.
At the center is a monochromatic human profile, a clean, grounded image of the individual self. From the head, brightly colored gears and cogs erupt outward, symbolizing thought patterns, belief systems, and the inner machinery of meaning-making that quietly drives behavior. The heart—vividly detailed in reds and blues—is placed prominently over the neck, visually bridging mind and body, intellect and emotion, and hinting at the truth that many of our “choices” are actually co-authored by what we think and what we feel. From this figure, a row of large dominoes topples—a simple but powerful metaphor: once a cause is set in motion, effects follow with precision. You may not see the first tile fall, but you will always live in the later ones.
Surrounding the scene are bold purple scales of justice—an emblem of balance, measurement, and consequence. They suggest that Cause & Effect isn’t moralistic punishment; it’s lawful equilibrium. Reality “weighs” what you repeatedly energize. What you tolerate, what you rehearse, what you avoid, what you commit to—these become causes. Behind everything, a radiating starfield and cosmic energy burst outward, expanding the message from personal habit into universal order: this law operates on all planes, from the psychological to the physical, from the intimate to the infinite. And the directional signs at the bottom make the framework explicit—Plane of Causality (Spiritual & Psychological / The Why) and Plane of Effects (Physical World / Manifested Reality)—a clear map of how inner states become outer circumstances.
What makes Cause & Effect especially compelling is how it returns power to the viewer without sugarcoating. It doesn’t say life is easy; it says life is lawful. If you don’t like the effects, you can trace them back to causes—often hidden in thoughts, emotional patterns, self-concepts, and repeated choices. For the spiritually serious collector, this is artwork as a tool: a visually arresting reminder to stop negotiating with symptoms and start working at the level of origin. If you’re ready to live less by accident and more by intention, Cause & Effect belongs on your wall—because the moment you see the chain clearly, you can change it. Add it to your collection now.
The Principle of Gender
Gender is in everything. Everything has its masculine and feminine, yin and yang, inward and outward, active and passive forces. Gender manifests on all planes.
Gender expresses the Hermetic Principle in its most practical and psychologically precise form: Mental Gender exists within the human psyche as two complementary currents—the generative and the witnessing. This artwork reveals the architecture of thought itself: where ideas are born, and where they are observed, directed, and shaped.
At the center is a stylized brain divided into two hemispheres, visually mapping the dual structure of consciousness. The right hemisphere—vividly alive with vibrant, flowing rainbow color and labeled “the Me”—represents the feminine, generative principle of mind. This is the subconscious, passive, creative matrix where impressions become images, where emotions give rise to mental atmosphere, and where thoughts are produced before you consciously select them. It is intuitive, holistic, associative, compassionate, and imaginative. In Hermetic terms, it is the mental womb—the fertile field that generates the raw material of experience.
The left hemisphere—rendered in structured monochromatic plaid and labeled “the I”—represents the masculine, witnessing principle. This is the conscious, active, objective mind of will. It does not generate thoughts; it observes them. It discerns, selects, directs, affirms, rejects, and gives instruction. It is intellect, logic, analysis, science, mathematics, and disciplined focus. It is the mental authority that says, “This thought, not that one.” It is the director of attention and the arbiter of meaning.
The surrounding symbolism reinforces this dynamic. A bright yellow light bulb near the masculine side suggests conscious illumination—clarity brought through awareness. A magnet near the feminine side suggests attraction and receptivity—the subconscious drawing in impressions and generating internal imagery. The swirling electromagnetic background reminds us that these two principles are not static compartments; they are interacting currents within one unified mind.
Here is the essential Hermetic insight: the feminine principle generates thought; the masculine principle witnesses and directs thought. Psychological imbalance occurs when one current overwhelms the other. If the generative mind runs unchecked, a person becomes carried by mood, impulse, imagination, and internal narrative without discrimination. If the witnessing mind dominates excessively, life becomes rigid, over-controlled, and disconnected from creativity and emotional depth.
Mental health and creative power arise when the generative mind produces rich content, and the witnessing mind calmly observes, selects, and directs it. This internal harmony has nothing to do with identity politics or social constructs. It is about the structural mechanics of consciousness itself. And importantly, maintaining inner balance does not negate healthy outward polarity; many individuals thrive when rooted in their natural embodied orientation while still maintaining access to both inner faculties.
Gender makes this invisible process visible. It offers not ideology, but a blueprint: your life is shaped by which thoughts are generated—and by which thoughts are chosen.
For collectors who seek art as a mirror for self-mastery rather than decoration, Gender is a powerful daily reminder: you are not your thoughts—you are the one who witnesses them and decides which ones will shape your reality. Bring Gender into your space now as a declaration of conscious authorship.
About the Series
The Seven Hermetic Principles
There was a moment—quiet, almost easy to miss—when this series stopped being “art” and became a framework.
Like many seekers, I began with questions that felt both personal and universal:
Why do patterns repeat in life?
Why do some people seem to move with clarity while others feel carried by circumstance?
Is reality random—or lawful?
The deeper I studied Hermetic philosophy, the clearer the architecture became. The Seven Hermetic Principles were not abstract mysticism. They were structural laws—describing how consciousness operates, how perception shapes experience, and how the inner world becomes the outer one.
This series is my visual translation of that architecture.
A Visual Philosophy, Not Just a Portfolio
Each artwork represents one principle:
Mentalism — The Universe exists within the infinite Mind of The All, and your individual mind participates in that greater field of consciousness.
Correspondence — As within, so without. The inner pattern reflects outward.
Vibration — Nothing rests; everything moves along energetic degrees.
Polarity — Opposites are variations of the same essence, differing only by degree.
Rhythm — Life swings in cycles, and mastery lies in rising above unconscious reactivity.
Cause & Effect — Nothing happens by chance; psychological causes precede physical effects.
Gender — Creation requires two inner currents: the generative and the witnessing, the imagination, and the will.
Individually, each piece stands on its own as a symbolic meditation. Together, they form a complete operating system for understanding reality.
This is not spirituality as escape.
It is spirituality as structure.
Why This Series Exists
I didn’t create this work to decorate walls. I created it to clarify perception.
Modern life pulls attention outward—toward noise, urgency, and distraction. Hermetic philosophy pulls attention inward—toward responsibility, awareness, and lawfulness. These artworks are bridges between those worlds. They combine cosmic imagery, psychological symbolism, scientific motifs, and bold graphic language to make invisible principles visible.
Each piece is designed to function as a contemplative anchor—something that quietly reinforces clarity in a room, whether that room is a home office, studio, meditation space, or living area.
When you live with these principles visually present, something subtle happens:
You begin to notice your thoughts more clearly.
You respond instead of react.
You trace effects back to causes.
You recognize cycles instead of resisting them.
You integrate will and imagination instead of letting one dominate the other.
The artwork becomes a mirror—and sometimes, a compass.
For the Collector
This series is for individuals who sense that life is participatory—that reality is not merely something that happens to them, but something they are co-creating through perception, focus, and choice.
Collectors of The Seven Hermetic Principles are often entrepreneurs, thinkers, builders, and spiritually serious individuals who want their environment to reflect discipline as much as inspiration. They value structure over sentiment, depth over trend, and meaning over noise.
To acquire a piece from this series is to place a philosophical statement in your space.
Not loud. Not preachy. But steady.
A reminder that life operates by law.
A reminder that consciousness matters.
A reminder that mastery begins within.
The Invitation
This series is ongoing—not because the principles change, but because understanding them deepens.
If one of these principles resonates strongly with where you are in your life right now, that’s not accidental. It may be the law you’re currently learning to embody.
Explore the collection.
Sit with the principle that calls to you.
Choose the one that strengthens your thinking.
And let your environment reflect the level of consciousness you intend to live from.
