Chimerical Dreams unfolds like a fragment of memory rescued from a half-forgotten civilization. The background—washed in a yellowing ochre—feels aged and luminous, as though time itself has stained the surface. It recalls sunbaked parchment, ancient walls, or frescoes softened by centuries of dust and light.
From this ground emerge intricately entwined personages, their forms layered and interwoven, never fully separating from one another. They wear garments of vivid, multicolored hues—reds, blues, greens, and earthen tones—that pulse against the muted backdrop. These colors do not merely clothe the figures; they animate them, suggesting rank, ritual, or mythic identity rather than individual portraiture.
The figures appear to belong to an ancient time, yet no specific era can be named. Their faces blur into masks, their bodies bend and overlap, as if they are caught in a collective dream or ceremonial procession. Boundaries dissolve: one figure becomes another, history merges with imagination, and reality slips into reverie.
Chimerical Dreams is less a scene than a state of mind—a meditation on memory, myth, and the subconscious. It invites the viewer to wander among these timeless beings, to decipher stories that are felt rather than told, and to recognize that dreams, like ancient civilizations, leave traces that are beautiful, fragmented, and endlessly suggestive.
