Deeply influenced by scientific and spiritual interests - from Quantum Physics, Cosmology and Numerology to Sacred Geometries, Metaphysics and Eastern Philosophies - Handiedan’s art embraces the various forms of vital energy endlessly permeating the universe and mirrors the eternal motion of life in its kaleidoscopic manifestations.
Protagonists of the works are the iconic vintage pin-ups. The artist composes, both digital and hand cut, the bodies by assembling anatomical parts of different pre-existing pin-up images from the 1920-1940s and ornaments from old sheet music, science maps and paper currency, transforming them into images reminiscent of the Neo-Classical and Victorian ages, the Parisian Belle Époque, up to the 1940's and Post-War sexy imagery.
With luscious liveliness the forms bend in and out the background to personify Handiedan's investigation in femininity. They stand for the Lover and the Mother, embodying sexual freeing and tender love, strength and vulnerability. At once mistresses and goddesses, these creatures are endowed with a symbolic power that can be traced down to the archetype of Mother Earth (or Mother Nature) in which all ancient cultures identified the natural course of the circle of life with its transitory stages of birth, change, decay and renewal.
The Golden Ratio and the Flower of Live, whose presence in all realms from quantum levels to the eternal motion of planets and galaxies is proof of a universal law connecting everything. All scientifically or symbolically representing the universal harmony ruling nature and life.
