Here is my latest oil painting.
The idea was taken from a dream I’ve had around 2015. For me, this year had it’s many shares of interesting phenomenon, many of which were very strange. Not to mention the extreme abundance of vivid dreams that had this common theme of “weirdness” or “absurd”. Some were very disturbing as well. I guess to this day, I still remember them clearly and occasionally draw some inspiration from them in my artwork.
So in this specific image with the statue, I think the painting is a bit darker than the dream itself. There was this female statue, which was alive and carrying this group of people around this Italian style courtyard. In the painting, I only left one character sitting in this “carriage”. I think the only aspect of the dream that is fully communicated in this painting are the colors and the atmosphere, with these green-bluish tones.
Here is a video of progress for this oil painting.
