Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!
Here are some more creations inspired by memories from the depths of my dreams, hoping to trigger your imagination!
The following images were made using Leonardo.ai, my build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation, photobashing & sketching in Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.
The theme of childhood and of playing, is a topic I often go back to in my creative process.
The first EP I ever produced, entitled Peter Pan Syndrom, resolved around childhood memories and feelings.
I regularly hear people talk about their dreams being very common, or very reality oriented. Then, when I talk about my dreams, they are usually quite surprised.
The depth of my years of experience in life is present in dreams, of course, but elements such as dragons, fantasy, magic, horror or scifi have never left me.
I actually feel sad, thinking that most people don't have this kind of dreams, and have been so absorbed by their routine that their inner child has fallen to ruin.
"This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play."
-Alan Watts
