Agate Bernāne

Diploma work series ''Moonlight'' comes to me as dream – foggy, fragile, and mystical. It starts as an experiment, writing down dreams and painting images of abstraction, until I found a scale of symbols that helped me organize and express my thoughts. As in a dream, the same at night – there is an imaginary interplay between light and darkness. In the light of a bright lamp or in a mysteriously ghostly, but at the same time, romantic moonlight. The works are painted as a story, fairy tale or dream, including symbols such as Psyche, moth, moon, skeleton, and chandelier. Paintings and fragmentary and volatile memories of one long dream. In search of harmony between fear and courage, doubt and peace, mystical and factual.
