Story behind
Art, to name a few, includes visual art, dance, music, sculpture and pottery. Art allows us to communicate in ways that words cannot. It is a way to convey emotions and ideas that transcend language.
Many artists believe that the unconscious mind holds the key to our creativity and that art can be a means to access this realm of the psyche. If we agree, art doesn´t necessary mimic reality. It can go beyond rational thoughts to explore the hidden, irrational minds. Surrealism, an art movement in the early 20th century, emerged exactly for this purpose. The surrealists used automatic writing and drawing for instance, as a means to bypass conscious control and access the sub-consciousness. By giving free rein to the hand, artists were able to tap into the suppressed emotions and ideas. They also use symbolic elements to portray hidden meanings and evoke emotional responses.
In this painting “Dream current”, I allowed my hand to flow freely the yellow patterns on the right, and use a patch of grey shadow to symbolise the fear and the unknown. The whole process is interesting and relieving.
