Jay Mikal’s “Vortex +013” invites viewers to embark on a spiritual journey of introspection and a deeper connection to the divine. This 1 of 1, visually-striking composition features over 4 feet of multi-layered resin, holographic acrylic paint, locally sourced healing crystals, and translucent, sculpted waves that dance effortlessly in unison to create a celestial portal that transcends the physical world and spectrum of faith. Mikal’s work seeks to inspire reflection, clarity, and inner peace, drawing on cosmic imagery and metaphysical concepts to engage the viewer on a profound level. Whimsically fusing imaginative textures, abstract imagery, and ethereal color palettes, this piece evokes a strong sense of lightness and otherworldliness — grounding the viewer in a powerful whirlwind of high-vibrating frequencies. Uniquely crafted to visibly change in various light conditions (from sunrise to sunset), Mikal’s work aims to engage viewers in an active, inner dialogue that continues to create new questions and new discoveries on a daily basis.
