Recognized Brancusi expert providing scientific art analysis and authentication through Universæ Analysis

Universæ Analysis is a methodology that provides the key to interpreting works of art from ancient to modern times. By identifying recurring geometric and symbolic structures, it sheds light on the shared cultural foundations of humanity. This discovery brings significant historical, cultural, and material value to the complete work of Constantin Brancusi.

Developed through over thirty years of research, Universæ Analysis offers a universal reading of artistic creation. It reveals connections across civilizations and time periods, a shift that opens new perspectives on how we evaluate and understand art. This approach is already setting the stage for a major transformation of the art market.

The methodology draws on multiple scientific disciplines: science as a structured body of verifiable knowledge, geometry (Thales, Pythagoras), mathematics (golden ratio, Fibonacci), biology, Egyptology, and comparative religion. Recurrent symbols such as fish, eggs, pentagons, and myths like that of Isis appear across all cultures and eras, pointing to a common origin, a universal language of form. This is precisely what Brancusi’s work embodies.

To this day, Thierry Rayer remains the only expert capable of scientifically interpreting Brancusi’s work.

Starting from the analysis of the foundational masterpiece Le Baiser de 1905 and Brancusi’s preparatory sketchbooks, Rayer revealed an internal structure governed by immutable laws: a demonstration that now enables the decoding of the sculptor’s entire corpus.

The Universæ Analysis method originates from the in-depth study of a scholarly library comprising over ten thousand volumes. This library was built around the personal archives of Pierre Rayer, physician to Napoleon III and president of the French Academy of Sciences. The collection spans fields such as medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, Egyptology, art history, symbolism and ancient philosophy.
 

By cross-referencing these disciplines, Thierry Rayer developed a rigorous method of analyzing artworks through their geometric structures, internal proportions and symbolic logic. Grounded in this scientific and documentary foundation, Universæ Analysis offers a unique approach to interpreting and authenticating works of art, most notably the sculptures of Constantin Brancusi, by revealing their internal formal coherence.

“Vos découvertes concernant l’oeuvre
de Constantin Brancusi vont certainement contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de son génie et de sa contribution au monde de l’art moderne.
