My aim in these soul-stirring series is for these works to resonate with the audience by challenging and pushing the limits of our comfort zone. Painting becomes a meditative process between myself and the canvas -a point of concentration in field self-focus. As a painting develops, I correlate the act of going deeply into the surface with going deeply into oneself. When I work, I think of a white canvas as a clean, untouched territory. Through the reflection of oneself with the canvas, transcendence over diminished mental states begin to be possible. However, my paintings express that there is light in darkness. This dark hole can be felt by many as a hopeless place. Later in my life, and through my studies in psychology, I have come to realise that often people are unable to reflect and identify the intrusive thoughts that fill their psyche, thus precluding any attempt to receive the so much-needed help. Since childhood, I have been focused on analysing the nuances of human behaviour. Some are darker-like the airless feeling of a panic attack-and some lighter, like the feeling of hope and fulfilment. Each work in this series portrays a variety of intense emotions. Both, the media and dimensions for each work, change based on the density or immensity of the mental process portrayed. The paintings that comprise my body of work, are an exploration of the relation between conscious and sub-consciousness. The chaos of life is the result of a variety of mental processes triggered by intrusive thoughts. Statement: Optimal mental health is non-existent. SiederĀ“s paintings are an abstract interpretation of her personal perception of the world around and an exploration of the introspective self.
