“Remembering the days at the shores of fantasy” unfolds like a reconstructed landscape of recollection, where fragments of experience rise again from the depths of memory. Deep ultramarine tones create a vast psychological space, reminiscent of night or the interior sky of the mind, against which luminous forms emerge like islands of rediscovered meaning. The vertical drips and translucent layers embody my method of overpainting—echoing the idea from my artist statement that memories are never erased but remain as subtle traces beneath the surface. Rounded, vessel-like forms suggest containers of experience, holding emotional residues of lived moments.
A vibrant orange line travels across the canvas like a current of consciousness, connecting distant zones in the same way associative memory links seemingly unrelated events. Within the language of abstract expressionism, gesture and color replace representation, transforming the act of painting into a process of remembering itself. The contrast between the cool blue atmosphere and the glowing reds and greens evokes the tension between distance and emotional intensity that characterizes recollection.
Within the series "Broken and Recovered Memories", the painting occupies a pivotal position as a moment of return. If the series traces the gradual resurfacing of forgotten inner landscapes, this work represents the moment when memory becomes vivid again—when scattered fragments reconnect into a living image. It stands at the threshold where imagination and recollection meet, suggesting that what is recovered is never a perfect past, but a newly formed meaning emerging from the layers of time.
