Description:
This work is a symbolic and dynamic representation of a moment of epiphany or spiritual baptism, illustrating the thesis stated in the title. The scene can be interpreted as an artistic vision of the Baptism of the Lord.

The composition centers on a Christ-like figure immersed in turbulent waters, referred to in the title as "creative waters." The figure, with arms raised and gaze uplifted, is in an ecstatic state of receiving divine grace. From above, a column of golden light descends, bringing with it a flock of white doves—a classic symbol of the Holy Spirit.

The painting captures the juncture of two cosmic forces: the celestial, spiritual force descending ("Lux descendit"), and the earthly, primordial force rising ("aquae creatrices assurgunt"). The central figure becomes a mediator, the point of meeting and transformation where heaven and earth unite.

The style is expressive, full of movement, characterized by the strong contrast between warm golden light and the darkness of the deep waters. The work is signed "Lucius" in the lower right corner.
