The project ‘Dreamscapes’ is my expression of surrealism. It is how sometimes, the unlikeliest of the things come together to form something meaningful. This is the common thread in all my works. The meaning might not be so apparent to the casual onlooker, but for an appreciator of fine arts, it will hold a deep meaning.
Now I would like to discuss specific objects that comprise my art work. The hand in the first artwork is ‘unnatural’ or out of place object. The object has been so placed to create a bridge between physical and digital world, and create the surrealist depiction of the fact that the boundaries between these two worlds might be blurring. Second artwork has baby pictures with orange as backgrounds to each face. This artwork is representation of the ‘freshness’ of the world. Oranges are refreshing and bundle of energy, and so are new born babies. The last artwork has a night creature-an owl, a high flight bird- the eagle, and a peep into another world/galaxy. This artwork is a representation that this place-the ‘bazaar’ can transport you to unimaginable spaces, only if you have the imagination for it. Here it doesn't matter if it’s night or day, or high in the sky or on the ground, if you can imagine then you will be transported to the universe of your choosing, even if only for a moment.
I have used lasso tool to cut objects from other pictures. I have used blur tool and eraser to make the object exactly fit in the new picture space.
The emotions that I am trying to convey artwork wise: 1)The feeling of intermingling with the digital, and becoming one with the net, to not know where physical world ends, and where the digital realm begins; is the aim of the artwork. 2) The emotion of feeling joy of smelling a fresh orange or kissing a newborn baby is depicted in the artwork. 3) A new world with no physical bounds, you can soar high and travel to another universe, you can do it irrespective or day or night. This feeling of freedom and other worldly rules is conveyed through this work.
