About this artwork
I wanted to show Greek God of Sleep, Hypnos, as a bridge between day and night. The work is contrary to my common realism works but it represents my search for symbols of the complexity of human nature. I see our mind as a multi-layered mechanism, which works quite independently on most levels - whether a person is awake or asleep, active or tired. Hypnos symbolizes a transition between the state of awareness to the state of uncontrolled flow, which…
in fact can bring insights and discoveries.
The painting depicts Hypnos overlooking somebody, with calmness and confidence. Eager to answer to the subconscious, even the shape of his wing shows his openness to the needs of his ward. He plays a significant role in this layered mind mechanism, ensuring a smooth move from one layer to another.
The figure of Hypnos slowly dissolves as you look at the painting edges, just as your thoughts do when you fall asleep.
