About the artwork

Reality is often defined as the state of things as they actually exist, independent of our subjective experiences or interpretations. Perception, on the other hand, is the way we view, understand or interpret something based on our mental impressions. Some people may argue that reality is only perception because we can never access reality directly, but only through our senses and perception. They may claim that reality is subjective and relative, depending on our individual or cultural perspective. They may also point out that our perception can be influenced by many factors, such as our emotions, expectations, prejudices, past experiences or even drugs.

Our perception does not always match reality because our lens can be distorted or incomplete. We can sometimes make mistakes or illusions in our perception, or we can have different interpretations of the same reality. This does not mean that reality does not exist or that it changes according to our perception. It simply means that we need to be aware of the limitations and influences of our perception and try to correct or adapt it if necessary.

The picture approaches the subject by showing a particular perception of a woman, just a silhouette in profile amidst a psychedelic swirl of colours and shapes. Is this reality? Yes, in the sense of the above.
