Oneiric

The series Oneiric is a collection of string art portraits that delve into the ethereal and dreamlike nature of the feminine form. Each artwork in this series portrays a female face, yet the intricate layering of strings and the delicate interplay of lines give the impression that these figures are elusive, as if glimpsed fleetingly in a dream. The threads seem to weave in and out of focus, creating a sense of movement and ephemerality, like memories or emotions that are just beyond reach.

The color palette of Oneiric—centered around shades of red, azure, and magenta—further amplifies the surreal and mystical qualities of the series. Red symbolizes passion and vitality, but here, it is softened to represent the inner fire that flickers in the subconscious, like a heartbeat within a dream. Azure introduces a tranquil, almost otherworldly calm, evoking the depth of the sky or the sea, both of which have long been metaphors for the vast, unknown landscapes of the mind. Magenta serves as a bridge between these two extremes, a hue that conveys transformation, imagination, and the liminal spaces between reality and fantasy.

Together, these colors weave a narrative of feminine strength, vulnerability, and mystique, with each portrait embodying the transient nature of dreams—fading, shifting, yet profoundly present in their emotional resonance. The title Oneiric perfectly captures this elusive quality, as if the subjects are not fully present in this world, but are instead visitors from a realm of dreams, where reality is softened and boundaries blur.
