Dreamworld As most of my paintings, this painting is also painted with acrylic paint on fine Lin canvas for a higher quality. Painting size: 80 x 80 About the painting: « In all my paintings I want to create harmony of different contrasts put together, and inspire people in an optimistic direction. I love combining the realism with more abstracted and surrealistic surroundings and surfaces. Although my paintings have similar qualities that show this style of mine, they also vary in different ways, as I progress and since I am free to change in whatever direction that comes to me in the moment. This painting was painted in December 2020 after a long and ongoing period of pandemic (Covid 19). As a result of being captured by the harsh reality, we tend to be more eager to dream away, and particulary painting this painting, I was not only aiming for »escaping reality», but rather making a concious choice starting from the mind, to focus in that positive direction despite everything bad that was happening, to show that nothing is impossible, and that imagination is a greater part of reality than what we may realize. And who is to say that this reality is not just a dreamworld, after all.« Artist: Lin Petershagen
