Lapis Lazuli - Ascension

$14,900.00

Heavily textured mixed-media painting on canvas (oil and acrylic).

Size: 48 × 36 in

For centuries, lapis lazuli has been revered for its intense ultramarine colour and spiritual symbolism. More valuable than gold during parts of the Renaissance, the stone was historically reserved for the robes of angels, saints, and the Virgin Mary in sacred art. From ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to Buddhist traditions, lapis lazuli has symbolised divinity, wisdom, protection, higher consciousness, and transcendence.

This painting serves as a visual ode to what was once known as “The Stone of the Gods,” drawing upon the rich historical and spiritual legacy associated with lapis lazuli across civilisations and mythology.

Joli: A Stranger in a Strange Land

Joli’s work is record. A visual leak from a reality where Matriarchy is the underlying architecture of existence.

These paintings are artifacts — fragments from a parallel world carried into this one. A world where power is feminine, ancient, and self-defining.

JOLI WORKS IN THE VISUAL LANGUAGE HISTORICALLY USED TO CONSTRUCT AUTHORITY: FORMAL PORTRAITURE, IMPERIAL COMPOSITION, THE CLASSICAL GRAMMAR THAT DECLARES PERMANENCE, HIERARCHY, AND CONTROL. She KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THOSE TOOLS WERE BUILT TO DO and she USES THEM TO SHOW SOMETHING ELSE.

Across cultures, the visual language of power has always been legible: the posture, the framing, the weight of the gaze, the quiet assumption that the viewer is male. What changes here is the foundation beneath it.

IN THE WORLD THESE WORKS COME FROM, THERE IS NO STRUGGLE FOR VISIBILITY. THE CENTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MOTHER. POWER DOES NOT NEED TO BE CLAIMED, JUSTIFIED, OR MAINTAINED THROUGH ILLUSION. IT IS INHERENT.

WHAT IS UNSEEN HERE IS NOT HIDDEN THERE. YOU ARE NOT BEING SHOWN WHAT COULD BE. YOU ARE BEING SHOWN WHAT ALREADY IS.
