“Subconsciously” is a mixed media artwork composed of a sheer fabric painted with acrylics, oil, soft pastels and pencils, hand stretched on wooden bars, to which its unique backprint on paper is attached, integrating material interaction and transparency. “Subconsciously” delves into the reservoir of memories, emotions, desires, and experiences accumulated over a lifetime in our subconscious mind. Freud stated that our encounters with individuals are not merely coincidental, but are deeply rooted in the recesses of our subconscious. Thus, when we encounter someone who resonates with us on a profound level, it is often because they somehow mirror or complement aspects of our own subconscious makeup. Dina’s new series of see-through screen paintings is trying to capture this subconscious resonance, fabrics that are mirroring their unique prints on paper, which layered together create a new perception, both reminiscing of a different psyche, both recognising something vaguely known in each other.
