Elise Gost-Monge

DRAWING AND PAINTING

Elisa’s series of oil paintings draws inspiration from the captivating realm of dreams and is influenced by a lifelong habit of dream journaling. Through vivid brushstrokes and intricate narratives, she explores the tapestry of the subconscious, interweaving dreams and phobias. Inspired by Freud's pioneering work on dream analysis, her art delves into the hidden symbolism and psychological depths of these nocturnal journeys. The paintings invite the audience into an immerse visual narrative, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. By capturing the uncanny nature of dreams and their connection to our fears and desires, she aims to spark introspection and dialogue about the influence of dreams on our daily lives. Through this exploration, Elisa’s work seeks to bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious, offering a glimpse into the mysterious landscape of the human psyche.
