PART 1 – BLUE ETHEREALS: WATER 2025

MATERIALS: acrylic, silk paint, oil, pastel on silk

Ethereals examines states of impermanence, suspension, and transformation through abstracted forms and atmospheric compositions. The series reflects on the liminal nature of experience, where materiality dissolves into sensation and memory.
Primarily realized through painting, Ethereals is often presented in rhythmic groupings that emphasize continuity and subtle variation. The works create a quiet spatial dialogue, privileging perception and duration over narrative.
This body of work represents an important transitional phase, laying the conceptual and visual groundwork for di Masternak’s later expansion into fully immersive installation environments.

The first chapter of this series, Blue Ethereals, is grounded in the element of water. Water is fluid, transformative, and essential—capable of both gentle renewal and overwhelming force. This series is a story about returning to the core of ourselves, to the essence we often overlook. It began when a long-standing trauma returned to my body, requiring further surgeries, and prompted a deep inward journey. In this process, I discovered the method of Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy and encountered them: the blue people, my star family. They arrived carrying joy, peace, and a sense of belonging that transcends the borders of our world.

Blue Ethereals are visual portals into this journey. Each figure embodies resilience and spiritual memory, reclaiming the body as a vessel of healing and love. The blue that defines them is both sky and sacred, a universal skin that dissolves divisions of race, gender, and trauma. Blue here symbolizes eternity, spirituality, solace, and the flowing, renewing power of water. Painting these figures has become a practice of transformation, turning trauma into a source of wisdom and agency.

While this series began in blue, the Ethereals continue to evolve dynamically, eventually exploring other colors and facets of the human and cosmic experience. Through these works, the viewer is invited to contemplate a space where the memory of who we truly are becomes medicine for the soul, and where the fluidity of water reflects both the fragility and resilience of life.
