The subconscious accompanies each of us. It plays its symphony in the background of everyday life, often drowned out by haste and focus. There are, however, moments when its voice breaks through. This happens when you stare out a window, sigh deeply while gazing at a mountain range, or look someone directly in the eyes for a moment longer. By directing our attention inward, we can discover worlds that exist on the border between sleep and wakefulness. Spectacles are constantly unfolding in our minds, with our thoughts as the actors. Scenes, images, and fleeting emotions—all of these take the form of visions.
These are the kinds of visions I show in the “Whispers of the Subconscious” series. Their lack of literalness balances on the border of the world we know and oneiric transformations. The motifs shown are a metaphorical commentary on my own life and what surrounds me. Tenderness, fear, love, helplessness, delight, trance, and passion all appear. This series is also a painterly record of recent months—the colors and mood of the paintings carry you through the successive seasons, connecting with experiences and acting as a vessel for emotions. I believe that everyone will find a piece of themselves and their own private universe within them.
