The series of works "Daydreams” portrays the different states of being in love. In the painted dreamlike world of naive teens and young girls, small demon-like creatures hide in their shadows, alongside symbols of innocence like flowers. The characters are portrayed being in love, heartbroken, hoping, flirting or daydreaming. The lighting illuminates them and creates an aura around them, leaving them exposed to expressing their feelings. The inspiration and references for these works come from old black and white photographs. Unfamiliar characters are given new meaning driven from my personal narrative. The blue and green color palette creates a different reality in which there is room for surreal elements. In this reality, the focus and attention is on the charcters’ identity, their feelings and their self-image.
