A new perception on the door to reality
This series was inspired by ‘The Doors of Perception’ written by Aldous Huxley. His description of a psychedelic experience breaks down reality and introduces the role of art as a portal to a new understanding of it. He builds upon William Blake’s ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’ in which is written:
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
These works are digital collages made of my own drawings, to connect the digital with the physical. With these I wanted to represent the concept of ‘The Doors of Perception’, in which art can become a portal to an unknown, spiritual experience: connecting the material with the spiritual.
These works were made in a stage of my career where I worked quite illustrative, so I am not sure how much they are able to function as portals, but they represent the psychedelic experience.
