About Incarnation
Earth is a magical planet filled with mysteries and the unknown. A planet, where multiple worlds reside on top of each other, without ever knowing about the other’s existence! Only one with an open mind can get glimpses of the other side in their dreams where one is not afraid of the unknown and truly accepts it.
I believe that one of these multiple worlds happens to be filled by energy forms. Mystical beings with no predefined shapes or forms. They change their physical appearance based on their thoughts.
As a kid I could see these energy forms more clearly and I could interact with them because I had no preconceived ideas about the world and my mind was able to accept surreal and unknown.
In my dream I would leave my mortal body and get reincarnated as one of the energy forms (mystical beings). Like a baby touching and experiencing things for the first time, for a brief moment I would experience their world by touch before my mind would pool my dreams with logic and denial as I would wake up from my sleep.
These paintings are a visual interpretation of those beautiful and surreal tactile feelings I had as a kid. And I hope that you get to relive your childhood dreams and surreal fantasies through them as I did while creating them.
