We all live a life of reality, daily demands and routine. We rely on our senses for seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting the world around us. But there is another dimension, the world we cannot use our normal senses to explore but it is real and, I believe, more so than we realise. That is when we tap in the world of intuition, serendipity, synchronicity and I think it is magical and powerful.
I love to explore that realm with my art. Sometimes it is more real to me, more important to me, than the living world around us.
In this painting, I connect with that magical world; maybe that is why I enjoy it so much. I struggled when creating it, which is my usual journey, and when I thought it was done I saw a painting incomplete. By listening to my heart I started covering the whole painting with a watery acrylic paint and pieces of silver leaf and then there it was , the magical world I wanted to explore.
This painting delves into my emotions, my sensory feel of this magical part of life. It speaks of memories, dreams and reflections and talks about an inner world of connectedness.
‘Intuition gives outlook and insight; it revels in the garden of magical possibilities as if they were real’
Carl Jung
