"Between Dreams and Paint" is a visual and emotional exploration of the boundary between consciousness and imagination. The artwork shows a woman with her eyes closed, caught in a moment of inner peace and surrender. Her face is partly rendered realistically, but at the same time dissolves into a swirl of colours and brushstrokes, as if she is slowly dissolving into her own dream world.
The soft lines of her face contrast with the expressive, almost impulsive strips of paint that surround her - orange, purple, blue, and peachy pink - symbolising the richness of human emotions, memories and desires. The paint sometimes flows down like tears or splashes out like a sudden inspiration, as if we are witnessing the inner workings of her mind.
This title captures the feeling the work evokes: a transitional state, a hovering between wakefulness and fantasy, between the tangible of the body and the intangible of the inner. It is an ode to introspection, creativity, and the beauty of the moment when one is momentarily not fully in reality - but somewhere in between, in the soft space of colour and dream. Modern Abstract. Pop art.
