“Joshua Elias’s paintings evoke a subtle spiritual archaeology. One may discern traces of buried ancient villages, half-erased elegant figurines, or even extinct exotic birds that form the artist’s mental bestiary.

Through the painter’s steady and balanced gesture, forms and colors shift into multidimensional realms without fixed boundaries, where an ever-present aspiration toward light remains perceptible.

The prevailing earthy tones recall the raw simplicity of the linen beneath — as though, in seeking to transcend matter, the canvas and its motifs aspire to become one.”
