This striking mixed-media piece captures the essence of gut feeling—that primal, instinctual knowledge that bypasses logic and reason, rooted deep within the body’s subconscious intelligence. The central figure, raw and expressive, appears to be in a state of heightened awareness, its mouth open as if mid-reaction—an immediate, unfiltered response to an unseen force. The swirling forms and chaotic yet deliberate layering within the figure's body evoke the intricate, unpredictable nature of visceral intuition—felt deeply but often difficult to articulate.
 
The title, À L'Instinct, Viscéral, reinforces this theme by emphasizing the bodily origins of instinctual knowledge. Viscéral (visceral) relates to the gut, not just in a biological sense but also in the emotional and existential realm—our deep-seated ability to sense truth without conscious reasoning. The vibrant, tangled forms within the torso suggest an internal storm, much like the way gut feelings arise—not as structured thoughts, but as bodily signals that demand attention.
 
The scattered eyes throughout the piece mirror this heightened perception, reinforcing the idea that instinct is a form of seeing beyond the rational. The jagged, almost volatile energy radiating from the figure suggests urgency, as if caught in a moment of realization or reaction. The cryptic text and symbols surrounding the composition further play into the subconscious nature of intuition—messages that we may not fully understand in words but that resonate deeply on a sensory level.
 
This painting serves as an exploration of the power of feeling before knowing. It questions the balance between reason and instinct, pushing the viewer to consider: how much of what we trust, fear, or desire is dictated by logic, and how much is driven by the undeniable pull of visceral awareness? By visualizing this raw, inner dialogue, À L'Instinct, Viscéral invites the viewer to embrace the wisdom of their own subconscious, to trust the signals that arise from deep within.
