Dalana Castrell - Spiritual Art Gallery
Paintings from a surrealistic and iconoclastic perspective regarding man's quest for Truth about who he is, where he comes from and where he is going. I endeavor to use art and creativity as a metaphor to bridge the gap between the spiritual and physical, a gap widened by cultural theology and desensitization through panderism.
The art in this manual of splendorous hues is based upon the esoteric within the aleph and the tav. As ring master, I invite the viewer into a circle of thought using transcendental patterns, hues of organic matter, text and abstract images - all of which represents the textile of civilization that ultimately separates mankind from nature’s balance. As a transcriber of visionary thinking, I take the viewer into an abstract conversation focused on a quest of self - a history of passion. The viewer is allowed to witness systems of belief, dogmas dressed as veils of duality, conflicts chronicled by color and symbolism.
