Light in Disintegrating Oneirism: Lacerations between Dream and Reality
Light as a principle of tension in art
In my artistic work, light is not just a visual element, but a principle of tension. It is a force that reveals and, at the same time, fragments, destabilizing the image and pushing it into a dimension that exists halfway between dream and reality. This undefined space is the site of a disintegrating dream, a vision in which perception dissolves, allowing fragments of an intimate, almost archaic, and at the same time disturbing, imagination to emerge.
Light as an ambiguous and destructive force
Light, in this context, becomes an agent of disintegration. Unlike the traditional idea of light as a symbol of clarity and revelation, here it takes on an ambiguous, almost destructive role. It is a light that does not resolve the darkness, but breaks it down, shatters it into segments of meaning and nonsense. The figures are revealed only partially, as if immersed in a partial and fleeting light, which disperses and vanishes, allowing us to glimpse fragments, never a whole.
Light and Transition: The Border Between Dream and Reality
This type of light acts as a transition element. It is that brightness that you feel at the moment of awakening, when the ordinary logic of reality begins to take over again, but the fragments of the dream are still suspended in your mind, in a sort of precarious dance. Through light, I try to capture this state of liminality, that boundary where all meaning crumbles and the edges of the visible become porous, ready to merge with the invisible.
The heart of my work: tension between light and darkness
In disintegrating dreaming, light is therefore a thin blade, capable of cutting the veil of illusion and at the same time disintegrating the visual order. It is the threshold where worlds meet that belong neither to concrete reality nor to the pure dimension of dreams, but which exist in a hybrid, jagged space, where meaning is generated by contrast and instability. And in this constant tension between light and darkness, between revelation and dissolution, lies the heart of my artistic work.
