Strange Visions

 
Art has a unique way of transforming perception. As we embark on an artistic journey, we spiral deeper into imagination, navigating spaces that feel both familiar and unsettling. What begins as experimentation or imitation gradually evolves into something more layered and personal, until our creations, no matter how instinctive they feel to us, can appear alien to the outside world. Each artwork carries a hidden history of thought, struggle, and discovery, creating a widening gap between our inner experience and how others perceive the work.

Intuition plays a central role in this evolution. Artists often describe moments of flow, when decisions feel effortless and inevitable, as though guided by an internal compass. Over time, this intuitive language becomes second nature to us, but inaccessible to those who haven’t shared the journey. The work feels self-evident from within, yet bewildering from the outside, revealing how far we’ve traveled beyond our original expectations and how monumental that growth truly is.

Stepping fully into this new artistic dimension can be exhilarating and isolating at once. The disconnect between vision and reception may feel vulnerable, but it also invites dialogue and deeper engagement. This “alien” quality is not a flaw, it is the mark of individuality and depth. By embracing the strangeness of our work, we honor the path that led us there and open space for others to explore alongside us. Art, even when it feels solitary, remains an act of connection, each creation a quiet invitation into new realms of possibility.
