Old Soul Print – Pareidolia, Cubist Wall Art

Experience a painting where time folds in on itself—where the face of a stranger feels oddly familiar. Old Soul is part of Wil Adams’ Pareiglyph series, where pareidolia, cubism, and desert texture meet in unexpected ways.

This work blends abstract symbolism with intentional ambiguity. One face, two essences: youthful ambition and seasoned reflection.

This piece is part of my new series, Pareiglyph—a fusion of pareidolia and symbolic glyphs, where faces and figures seem to emerge from the very texture of the earth.

In Old Soul, two presences coexist: one side carries the fire of youth, eyes set on conquering the world; the other bears the quiet wisdom of a man who’s already lived it. Their expressions overlap, not in conflict, but in communion.

Is the younger man unknowingly guided by ancient insight? Or is the elder still fueled by an unspent ambition? Either way, they are one—past and future playing off each other like shadow and light.

Some moments in life feel like déjà vu… others feel like a message. A glitch. A glimpse.
And once you see the face, the truth, the spirit—you can never unsee it.

That’s what it means to carry an old soul.

This piece invites you to look again. To wonder. And maybe even to remember something you haven’t quite lived yet.

The original piece of artwork was done with acrylic paint
