Treasure Island is the second painting from series named Dream Landscapes. The collection is about places I access when I have a lucid dream. There are 8 works in the collection so far, all relatively large pieces. The colors in a lucid dream are much brighter than in the reality we call our world. There is also the ability to see behind and under object which are not transparent. It is very difficult to describe the experience and the closest way to share it is through painting. The paintwork continues on the sides of the canvas (gallery wrap) so framing is possible but not necessary. The piece is ready to hang. As default this artwork is signed on the back but I can sign it on the front too if requested.
For me painting is a way to convey to others what my inner reality looks like. I guess, that is what most artists are trying to do. This is why my paintings are mostly abstract. I access this inner reality with my eyes closed, in a quiet and relaxed state or in lucid dreams, which I am blessed to have from time to time. In this personal reality light and colour form structures with astonishing size and grandeur generating emotions and strong desire to share the experience. Sharing however is not easy. It is like to listen to the most amazing music and then try to talk about it. I am not sure that I will ever be able to express these experiences in full, but every painting brings me a bit closer.
