This is my entry for The Three Muses challenge this week which is "Surreal". This was a wonderful challenge for me as I'm always trying to make "sense" of things and by the definition of surreal - things are dreamlike or non-sensical. In this digital collage I tried to import elements that would represent an underwater dream world that is controlled and "painted" by a presence outside of that world. The woman appears a bit captive yet in awe of her strange but colorful world. When creating this piece it was hard to distinguish fantasy from surrealism and I really want to try to explore and work on this form of art expression some more . Totally fun!

I know what you mean, Lori. This type of art leaves you wanting for more. (Hey, there is nothing wrong with posting another piece or two). I love your wonderful, surreal dream. Fantastic work. I love that you have started with an idea and worked so hard and long to capture it on the "canvas".

ReplyDeleteAgree with Nan- the instant I saw this I was convinced I was looking at another world...beautiful, interesting...and a bit playful with that ambiguous-yet seemingly benevolent big round suspended face face watching the dream-traveler's reactions...kind of like the Cheshire cat with Alice! Lovely image, this!

Looking at your piece I feel the need to push aside the waterplants to be able to see better what is behind them. I would like to be that woman, being part of such a beautiful world. Amazing piece!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I'm in awe of how you have thought about and interpreted the theme of surreal. It was very interesting to hear how you felt about what you painted. And of course your painting has achieved what you wished it to do. Beautiful.
