The Curated Menstrala Gallery


A Curated Selection of Original Menstrala Paintings

 

 

This gallery represents the public constellation of Menstrala—works selected for their historical significance and cultural visibility. The remaining paintings in the 88‑work oeuvre are held in private custody to preserve the coherence of the archive.

 

 

Silverfish Spirits

The Genesis Painting of the Menstrala Movement

The first Menstrala painting and the origin point of the entire movement. As the Genesis painting, it stands as the ceremonial threshold of the oeuvre.

 

 

 

Timandra & Bulis

Displayed Twice on the USS Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier (CV-63)

A rare early Menstrala painting whose presence aboard the USS Kitty Hawk Navy Aircraft Carrier during the Iraq War in 2003, marked one of the first public encounters with the movement. The work’s military‑context visibility stands as an unexpected historical footnote in the lineage of Menstrala’s emergence.

 

 

 

Four Seasons Mandala

A Cyclical Geometric Composition

This mandala expresses the cyclical intelligence at the heart of Menstrala. Its quadrantal structure reflects seasonal and rhythmic intelligence of the menstrual cycle. The work functions as a cosmological diagram—an imprint of time, rotation, and embodied geometry.

 

 

 

 

La Curvia

A Study in Emergent Form

La Curvia reveals curvature from breath‑driven movement. The painting is a key example of Menstrala’s geometric vocabulary.

 

 

 

 

 

Galaxy Crossing

The Iconic Emblem of the Menstrala Movement

Painted on October 18, 2002, Galaxy Crossing became the visual threshold through which the movement entered global consciousness. Its phoenix‑like emergence from the medium established the emblematic geometry now associated with Menstrala.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October Flight

Early Recognition and International Visibility

October Flight was requested by and served to the Vatican’s website domain less than one month after its publication in 2002—an early signal of the movement’s global reach and cultural resonance. Its geometry carries a vertical ascension signature, marking it as a pivotal early work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ruby Red


Featured in the Kotex International Documentary

Ruby Red, a single field‑trace within the 88‑painting constellation, was featured in an international documentary titled "Art's Missing Period" and its accompanying virtual gallery produced by Kotex in April 2026. Its inclusion drew renewed worldwide attention to the Menstrala movement.
