Original artwork description:

Walking Between Time
Acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

This evocative piece draws inspiration directly from a waking dream-like state, a realm where REM hallucinations seep into the tangible. The painting captures a surreal and layered journey through time, depicted with shadowy arches and fluid forms that suggest the interplay between light, movement, and memory. The muted tones and sweeping strokes create a dreamscape that is both expansive and intimate, leading the viewer into a timeless narrative. At the base of the arches stands a lone figure—a spectral presence dwarfed by the monumental structures around them, symbolizing the fragile human experience against the vastness of the unknown.

The layered composition mirrors the visual fragments often seen in nested hallucinations, with one element emerging from another in a sequence of perpetual discovery. The subtle interplay of warm reds and cool blues adds emotional tension, suggesting a fleeting but profound crossing of realities.
