Chapter Of The Infinite Self (2025)

Original Fine Art Painting by Ashvin Harrison
“She does not rise from the page — she becomes it.”

Artwork Description:

Chapter of the Infinite Self is an original fine art painting by Ashvin Harrison — a luminous vision of awakening, identity, and the boundless story each person carries within. Created with shimmering metallic pigments and glittered abstraction, this work bridges realism, imagination, and cosmic expansion. Subtle thematic links connect it to its companion pieces Miami In The Book of Time & Monarch Rising, forming a conceptual pairing about narrative, transformation, and the power of self-authorship.

At the base of the artwork, an open book rests like a portal — its charcoal-rendered pages turning into light. Small orbs of gold shimmer and drift upward from the spine of the book, glowing like tiny suns. These golden lights represent ideas, revelations, memories, and moments that form the chapters of a life. From the book, the female figure rises in hyperreal precision, her head tilted back as though inhaling destiny itself. Her body glows in soft charcoal realism, still yet alive, grounded yet ascending.

Her hair erupts into a breathtaking cascade of colour — blues, golds, peaches, violets, and blacks — interwoven with a glittering shimmer medium that catches light like stars caught in motion. The explosion of paint mirrors the infinite expansion of consciousness, imagination, and emotional truth. Hidden within the abstract cascade are subtle hints of Miami’s palette and sunset tones, tying the artwork back to the atmosphere of the Art Miami feature series.

Butterflies flutter around her chest and shoulders — each painted in luminous detail. They symbolise rebirth, inner evolution, and the courage to step into the unknown. Together with the open book below, they speak to the continual rewriting of self: the moment when awareness bursts outward and one becomes the author of their own becoming.

Chapter of the Infinite Self embodies Harrison’s evolving practice of Motusrealism — the union of lifelike form and expressive abstraction. This artwork reflects the beauty of personal expansion, the freedom of inner transformation, and the infinite chapters waiting inside every human being.
