Artwork description
Do You know what actually is important in life, to FEEL ALIVE?
I’ve worked on this very topic in my piece “BEING ALIVE.”
It epitomizes for me how dark surrealism can help me reconnect with myself on a deeper level.
To feel alive again, I look inside myself and experience feelings that I have not been able to feel for a long time.
This is what the “Third Eye” stands for, which has always been a symbol for looking at oneself from a different perspective and gaining insight into what the true meaning of life is.
My painting may bring out an aspect in the person who is looking at, that they have not experienced before, like:
Beauty in the darkness, represented in the shape of a woman.
Or supressed feelings and emotions, in all their glory, embodied in the skull.
Nowadays we are taught that we must always be happy and that we may not show any negative feelings or thoughts. But we have all been in a situation where we have felt really bad.
Self-acceptance is a key factor in self-healing and accepting one’s shadow traits as part of life.
Over time, I have learned to accept the darkness in my life as part of it. Just as the skull and the woman in the circle make one unit.
In moments where the hustle and bustle takes over, I always remember this:
What makes me feel alive is accepting my darker sides and expressing them through images.
It always helps me to bring back this feeling and find myself again and again.
Just as the woman rises out of the waves, I too awake to life again!
