The River of Consciousness Painting

"This quotation from Carl Jung somehow inspired me in this work, especially to clarify the subject matter. 'In each of us, there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in an inconvenient situation to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude.' The painting 'The River of Consciousness' delves into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the unseen layers of the self and the transformative power of introspection. Inspired by Carl Jung's profound insights into the subconscious mind, the artwork seeks to illuminate the hidden aspects of our inner worlds. The seeds at the bottom of the canvas symbolize life and the growth potential, akin to a flowering plant capable of evolving into something greater. Simultaneously, they embody the nurturing essence of Mother Earth, reminding us of the profound significance of the earthy brown color. The black hand represents death, a stark contrast to the figure symbolizing the Self and Ego. This juxtaposition underscores the dualities inherent in the human experience—life and death, light and dark, conscious, and unconscious. I hope that viewers of 'The River of Consciousness' will embark on a journey of self-discovery and contemplation. By delving into the depths of their subconscious, I aim for viewers to gain insights that may radically shift their perspectives and attitudes toward life's challenges. The choice of oil as a medium was intentional, allowing for depth and richness in color to convey the complexity of the human psyche. The subject matter and style were selected to evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, inviting viewers to explore the hidden realms of consciousness. • This artwork is an original unique • Include Certificates of Authenticity and Declaration of Authenticity • Signed by the artist • All the copyrights reserved
