Viendo videos como este puedes comprobar que al menos en el arte lo imposible se hace facilmente posible, que los sueños tienen realidad, que el subcosciente se puede materializar. Y asi descubres como una artista llega a transmitir sus dudas sus sueños, sus ideas. Weimariano en este video seguro reside alguno de tus sueños o ideas, plasmadas en esta magnifica elección de imagenes, nuevamente enhorabuna por compartir tu genialidad :)

I just stumbled upon this video by accident... I never saw Oblinski before, and it is quite amazing. Every painting has a very mystifying touch to it... almost creepy in some way lol...

Every painting tells a complete story, with much details, and I could be the author of it, it would be a bestseller, I am sure, because it would explain every deatil of our secret wishes, our dreams, our subconsciousness. Freud would love it, Jung....

I watched into my mirror, into everyones mirror, into Distant Mirrors and enjoyed, and will come back too, as HellenicMagic will come back again. I was again in his favorites and found this Jewel... Or Pearl, I found Rafal Olbinsky.
