Original artwork description:

The work consists of three paintings, 65 x 54 cm each.

The paintings were inspired by a big dream I had many years ago and refers to the process of individuation that is the becoming one's true Self.

The first picture is titled Regresus (Latin "regress"). It depicts the process of getting back and down to the deep subconscious realms where one could confront their past and their basic instincts and unknown parts of the personality.

The second image is the Constitutio (Latin "constitution"). It shows the basic energetic structure of an entity (Ancestor) that appears in an egg-like shape having three levels. Such entities reside in the innermost spaces of the personality and keep secret knowledge.

The third picture is Progressus - Transcendentia (Latin "progress - transcendence"). It is metaphor of the reaching a new level of personal development, getting closer to one's Self, represented here with the getting to the other shore.

The general idea of the triptych is that a person needs to pass through a regressive stage in order to realize some basic principles that would later help them progress again.

NOTE: The work is shipped as three separate paintings, each stretched on its frame with its corresponding dimensions. The buyer could hang the paintings according to their own view. For this reason the final dimensions could vary slightly.

Materials used:

oil
