Probably, a very general truth in the history of human thought is the fact that the most fruitful discoveries take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in very different sectors of human culture, in different epochs, in different cultural settings, or in different religious traditions. Therefore, if such an encounter occurs that is, if at least a relationship enabling genuine interaction arises between those lines of thought,we can be certain that new and interesting discoveries will emerge from it.

6174
In the 1940s, an Indian mathematician discovered a number famously recognized as Kaprekar's Constant (6174), which has captivated mathematicians for over 80 years.

During isolation, taking the time to paint a picture while evoking childhood memories became a journey towards a deeply transformative first revelation.
12963 - 6789 = 6174
11852 - 5678 = 6174
10741 - 4567 = 6174
? - ? = 6174

Inherited from the Sumerian civilization, the sexagesimal system was the second revelation that led me to understand that this number is an encrypted code of the Universum, present in everything visible and invisible.

Encrypted from the origins, it was always there, between subtracting and adding in duality would lead to unity; all in the middle of a blurry photo, some meaningless canvases, the 6174 is encrypted.

This work uses the ancestral symbol of the swastika in its original and premodern form, known as sauvastika (卍), a geometric motif present in multiple ancient cultures of Asia, Europe, Africa, America, and Australia/Oceania, centuries before its political appropriation in the 20th century.
Its representation in this painting has exclusively artistic, scientific, and cultural purposes, linked to the study of the number 6174 — the Kaprekar constant that emerges from arithmetic iterations as an eternal pattern — as well as sacred geometry and the history of universal symbols. It is employed with respect to its spiritual roots in traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, promoting a contemporary re-signification through numerical cycles and cyclic forms.
In accordance with § 86 and § 86a of the Strafgesetzbuch (German Criminal Code), this image does not promote, approve, or disseminate unconstitutional or totalitarian ideologies, but seeks to recontextualize a historical symbol from the perspective of artistic research and universal symbolism.
