“Despertares” by Artist Guim Tió

A series of sleeping figures and the uncertain landscapes of their dreams by Barcelona-based artist Guim Tió (previously featured here). “Despertares” captures the fragile state between sleep and wakefulness–where reality and imagination merge, and the familiar becomes abstract. Just as a memory grows increasingly imprecise, Tió’s paintings draw us into the fragmented space of fleeting impressions, faint sensations, and lingering thoughts. A place of both endless possibilities and a frustrating, yet inescapable intangibility.
