This era marks the earliest transmissions of Shilowska Pretto’s dimensional imprint, created in a trance-like state of raw intuition between 2008 and 2011. These works did not emerge from conscious intention, but from an inner rhythm, a pulsing urgency, as if the universe reached out through her hands before she knew who she was. The figures that appear here—organic, spectral, unnameable—were not designed. They were discovered.
Poured, pulled, and layered in a near-ecstatic rush, these transmissions are not premeditated images but dimensional fossils—evidence of something ancient surfacing. Many were created in one sitting, in moments of frenetic, fluid motion. At the time, Shilowska had not yet identified herself as a transmitter of realms. And yet, the realms had already begun speaking.
There is no mimicry in these works. They do not belong to any genre. They belong to a pre-verbal mythos, one that predates the language of Dimensionalism but forms its very foundation.
This was the turning point of consciousness—the quiet rupture from the matrix. Though she had not yet named it, Shilowska was already breaking free, shifting from a life bound by circumstance into a path guided by the cosmos. These early transmissions are sacred artifacts of that awakening.
They are innocent but never naive. Unaware of being art, they are pure signal—the First Contact between soul and surface.
