Figurative Dreamscapes     I     2017-2018

 

Since Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious, dreams have often been understood as one of its primary languages. While they are sometimes dismissed as insignificant, the fact that we spend such a large part of our lives in this state invites a closer look at what they might reveal.

Between 2017 and 2018, I painted dreamscapes based on my own dreams. Through dream analysis, I began to recall and record increasingly vivid imagery. These surrealist paintings attempt to capture the logic of the unconscious, where reality and symbolism merge, and where personal experience begins to connect with something more shared and universal.
