DREAMS IN BOXES

The phenomenon of dreaming rearranges the manifestations of existence within the space of individual psyche, imparting new meanings to images and situations already lived.

Dreamed images and situations become different images and situations. The paintings, once again presented in the same artistic format, as an allusion to the familiar reality of the experienced in relation to the unpredicted difference occurring in the dream, are another manifestation laden with new artistic pretension.

The “same” paintings are now “other.” Each new conception condemns the known, once-already image to alterity. Uncontrollable by reason, cognitive processes undergo a collapse in the territory of dreaming; the familiar, or at least recognizable, images in the dream structure surprising situations, articulating speculatively with the conviction of realities.

The familiar, real image ceases to be itself in the dream.
