Hermosario - Andrea Van Eyck

A body written in five mysteries

This book is a mystery.
It is not a collection of poems.
It is not a confession.
It is not a liturgy, though sometimes it prays.

It does not aim to teach or to heal, but it bleeds, it questions, it loves.

Hermosario is a body written in five mysteries.
A journey through desire, faith, wound, and beauty.
A secular, intimate offering, where each page is a threshold.

Here there are no certainties:
there are tremors,
there are invocations,
there is truth.

Whoever reads it, may they pass through it.
Whoever feels it, may they carry it.
And if something is not understood, may it still be prayed.

Here I give you
the beautiful mystery of a body.

About the artist

Andrea van Eyck (Donostia–San Sebastián, 1995)

Her practice crosses the poetic, the performative, and the spiritual as a gesture of communion with the invisible. She creates at the intersection of stage, word, and ritual.

She leads creative workshops and retreats, sharing her artistic philosophy and the tools she cultivates to open cracks toward the invisible: meditations, intuitive collages, symbolic writing, and reading the unconscious.

“I believe in art as liturgy, in beauty as a path, in love as a language.”

Hermosario is her first book. She has written it as one writes a prayer: with trembling hands and open eyes
