About this artwork
During the development of the ONEIRIC series , I have been interested in the concept of automatic drawing , started by the Surrealists as a way to incorporate randomness and the subconscious into their drawings, and to free themselves from artistic conventions and everyday thinking.
In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move "randomly" across the paper, with no preconceived subject or composition in mind.
As a product, there is a drawing,… produced by subconscious with the goal to discover something about the psyche and messages incorporated in dreams. a way to access meaning and information unavailable through tradition and the conscious mind.
After this process, drawings are rationally transferred to canvas bringing life and vibrancy, mainly through color.
