ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Drawing parallels. The process of introspection is like a dive into the inner self. We are the sea. We dive to explore. To learn. We return on the surface after a purifying and useful experience. All findings are considered as personal treasures. This painting can be seen as an internal seascape.

We look like seas, we are bodies of water.  With tangible surfaces and countless depths. Our existence is intertwined with a sequence of breaths.  But beyond breathing, we are a sequence of dives.  The inner self, a valuable field of inquiry, has infinite inner nuances and is potentially found in the deepest contents of the fluid watery space that houses the unconscious. What do we do with what is not visible?  If through sight we see what has form, how do we see the essence behind the form?  How do we give clues to the Unseen?  Obviously, these questions existed unconsciously when I was connected to a painting process that resembles the experience of successive dives into the depths of the Invisible.  Putting aside the representation of the already visible, I chose research, improvisation, anxiety and ecstasy of the possible encounter with something unprecedented and revelatory.  I have the feeling that I am exploring undefined inner landscapes on the edge of archetypal depths.  Along the way I meet and record facts, findings, small truths in waiting.  I find that what the conscious calls a finding, is an element already given, ready and independent of its possible recognition.  If I decide to never dive, the element will continue to glow in its place, I myself will miss the encounter with it. My works invite us to engage with them emotionally and sail alongside them, allowing them to enter us as an experience or simply as indications of an action.  We may recognize something in them.  Perhaps they make something of our Invisible visible.  It is more likely that through free associations we will invest them with our own meaning.  The works that move between Abstraction and Surrealism take on many meanings.  They become a signifier that renews itself depending on who and when one interacts with them.  The viewer becomes a participant and co-creator.  This is the reason why they remain energetically alive no matter how many times we see them and evolve at the same time as us, creating occasions for new internal discussions. Anna-Maria Pap.
