The Alegre Pyramid: A Vision of Conscious Living
In addition to painting, Tany is the visionary force behind The Alegre Pyramid, a cultural, ecological, and spiritual landmark designed in collaboration with architect Heine Cronje. Conceived as a seven-level pyramid structure to be built in Portugal, it is intended to serve as a living sanctuary for music, art, learning, and regeneration. The project integrates sacred geometry, acoustic architecture, renewable energy systems, and a surrounding spiral garden and edible forest co-designed with Noa Levin.
More than a building, The Alegre Pyramid is envisioned as a low-capacity, high-quality habitat—hosting musicians, artists, thinkers, and seekers—where creative expression, ecological stewardship, and inner alignment converge. Rooted in long-term settlement, care for the land, and a gradual opening to the public, the project stands as a model for conscious living and peaceful coexistence between human creativity and the living Earth.
Paulus: The Apostle as Cultural Bridge
Tany’s commitment to visual storytelling continues to expand into new domains. He recently completed the cover drawing for a forthcoming academic volume titled Paulus, authored by historian Professor Shalom Ratsabi. Scheduled for publication in early 2026, the book explores the life and legacy of the Apostle Paul, whose writings reshaped faith across cultures and generations. Tany’s involvement in this project reflects his deep engagement with lineage, belief, and transformative vision.
Healing Images and the Work Ahead
Among the many works that define Tany’s journey, one painting holds particular personal significance. Titled The Lost Heartbreak, the piece began not as a blank canvas but as a found painting abandoned on the street. The image bore the emotional residue of another artist’s sorrow, and Tany felt entrusted with its unresolved pain. Rather than erase the original, he entered into a respectful dialogue with it, allowing the existing marks to guide his response. This act of engagement transformed the work into a collaboration across time and experience.
Working in oil, he introduced elements of motion and renewal, including wind-like movement, oversized flowers, and a reawakened sense of landscape. What had once communicated absence was reshaped into an image of recovery and resilience. The process served as an act of restoration not only for an unknown creator but also for Tany himself. The Lost Heartbreak stands as a clear expression of his belief that art can carry grief toward beauty and return neglected stories to visibility.
Alongside his painting practice, Tany’s work has developed along a parallel and equally formative trajectory: more than twelve years of immersive research into plasma-field energy systems. Since 2013, he has been deeply involved in studying, modeling, sketching, and building MAGRAV devices, inspired by the KF Spaceship global research and development initiative. His studio has gradually become a hybrid space—both atelier and laboratory—filled with instruments and copper-based constructions that function as tangible articulations of plasma fields.
This sustained engagement with plasma dynamics has profoundly reshaped his artistic understanding of structure, circulation, and material intelligence. Working with copper as both conductor and form has refined his perception of arterial systems in physical reality, creating a direct parallel between energetic architectures and pictorial composition. This convergence has not merely accompanied his artistic path; it has recalibrated and expanded it.
In parallel, he continues to document his close encounters—an ongoing visual and experiential archive that feels increasingly like a widening threshold. This process carries a sense of preparation, an opening toward communion and eventual union with the star peoples.
Tany’s daily practice remains a continuous flow of visual and conceptual discovery, where each work acts as a pivot within a broader spiritual field. Looking forward, his next major effort involves a comprehensive collaborative project with artists who have shared his path for decades. This expanding vision welcomes engagement from collectors, galleries, and creative partners who recognize art as a living process of connection and renewal.
