The Dreamer - Stefano di Loreto

The work is inspired by the lightness of dreamers, which lifts them above earthly transience. At the base of the painting lies a massive blue stripe, representing reality, wakefulness, consciousness, the straight line that condemns one to a single direction, everything that anchors man to immanence, heavy chains that force us to walk with our feet glued to the earth. But against a lilac background, the pale sky of those who dare to imagine new horizons, blue lashes stand out, striking at the earthly chains and representing the dreamer's rebellion. From the struggle against reality, the dreamer releases a yellow-orange flow, which is his energy, his faith in something else, his reverie, a diaphanous vessel that lifts him above the limits of reality, on which he drifts lightly toward other forms, other creatures, other spaces and times, other possibilities. Dreams are intoxicated wings that fly in skies yet to be invented.
