The Reality of your Dreams #2 Painting

The Reality of our Dreams #2 Oil and acrylics on canvas 100x100x4cm - 2021 Like "The Reality of our Dreams #1", this painting shows the meeting between our dreams and reality. For those who are new to the concept of my work with bananas and strawberries, bananas very briefly symbolize "chaos" or "creativity", strawberries represent "love" and spots "order" or also decisions or options in life. About this work itself: In my view, we are unable to capture exactly what dreams are like, at least visually speaking. In this way, when translating them for the canvas, they are painted more loosely than the elements that I call reality. It is possible to observe that dreams comprise the lower part of the work, immersed in a beautiful Prussian blue that moves as something organic, while the reality, on the upper part, is composed of perfectly painted spots, as well as bananas and strawberries with greater wealth. of details. Note that most of the spots that make up the part where I show the "reality" are of a color, and the closer to the part that makes up the "dream" they start to become colored. It is a way of saying that our dreams also shape our reality, offering more options than we normally see when we are awake. As with some of my latest paintings, the spots are painted to the edges, which gives the viewer the feeling of expansion/movement, or in other words, infinity. There is a lot to say about these paintings, but I prefer not to explain everything I think because I like that the observer also creates his theories and narratives about! Eric - Below is a text from my instagram @CarrazedoArt about this painting and what it also represents to me: "I thought about a lot of things to talk about this, but from thinking so much, I also thought about nothing. When our dreams meet reality, it is often so hard that we want to go back to sleep. We tell stories to ourselves (and others) in order to try to keep dreams alive at any cost. Perhaps it is imperative to think and act like this in order to continue in the face of everything that is happening, especially in the field of the arts. The reality every day reminds me that the chances of "working out" are so small that I need to convince myself every day that it is working - that it has already worked - almost as if it were a marriage proposal. Life's cynical and discredited people will say it's crazy. The most spiritual will say that it is a matter of faith. On a more serious day I would say it is a matter of discipline and consistency. On a more dreamy day, I would say that it is a passion and the will to win. On a sadder day I ... I prefer not to think. In the end, it is what it is, however uncomfortable I am with certain things: my responsibility and choices, even when it is not." Eric
