Description

Original title is in spanish: "desde adentro". This actually has a really long and complicated explanation about the way that the symbols in the picture relate to the cognitive process, but I think that it's unenlightening and will only hurt the more adequate intuitive approach. This scan actually came out quite well, and is almost as good as the original picture, so I am quite happy to finally post some serious artwork here, instead of experimental jests into digital media.

I actually developed this style over a period of about two years, completely independantly from monsier Dumaine. I found myself quite shocked to find his work as its style is virtually identical to my own, if only slightly more abstract.
My work is usually a bit too concious, actually. I use symbols that are deeply significant over and over, and intentionally compose my images to arrange those symbols in interesting patterns. The fact that these symbols have grown to be stringy goo, glops of stuff, and eyes, doesn't mean that they lack any real significance. This, for example, is an attempt to portray the cognitive process.

(my original comment) I can see your love of Bernard Dumaine's work... I think what you're attempting is along similar lines, a kind of stream-of-consciousness excretion, feeling without thinking. For me the best and most absolute art comes from deep within in this way. Often it has no significance to anyone other than the artist, and yet equally often others can relate to it without necessarily understanding why. That risk has to be taken, or art would cease to exist. (and now my reply) Well, whatever... I suspected that I might have been wrong with your way of working, it's just that it LOOKS more spontaneous than it is. As for Dumaine, I already knew that you arrived at this style without influence from him (I also have an old friend with a style similar to yours, with disembodied eyes and stuff). What I meant more closely was that I can see why you're something of a fan of his. I am too...

LOL! @ cneofotistos, there is your cognitive process, we see what we look for!! I see consciousness flowing through the physical form, seeking & finding expression. Great use of symbolism & an engaging composition.

On the left is reality. It is assimilated by the eye, in the center. Above the eye is the quick spear of intuition (cneofotistos probably saw this as a phallus). It points to the right, which is the result, but it doesn't quite get all the way there. From the bottom comes reason and conscious thought, horribly disorganized and jumbled, and lumped on top of itself, but it too gets assimilated by the eye before it sums it all up and sends off to the right the strings of individual thoughts and conclusions. They are a bit more cohesive, but there isn't nearly enough there to really convey the mess that produced them. Beneath ther is the second eye, which observes the results of thoughts and feeds back into the mind.
