In The Egyptian Flower of Life, Paul Laffoley brings together mysticism, science, and ancient symbolism in a single, visionary composition. The work radiates with cosmic precision, merging Egyptian iconography with architectural geometry and metaphysical theory. The outstretched wings that crown the piece evoke the protective form of Isis, while the central panel unfolds like a celestial map, part blueprint and part spiritual diagram.
Laffoley's paintings are often described as portals to other dimensions of thought. Trained as both an architect and philosopher, he approached art as a system of knowledge, blending physics, theology, and esotericism into a unified visual language. In this late work, his fascination with sacred geometry takes full form, celebrating the interconnectedness of all things. The Egyptian Flower of Life stands as a testament to Laffoley's lifelong pursuit of a universal order, where art becomes both a diagram and a meditation on existence itself.
