Altered states of consciousness

One of these states is the moment accompanying the painting of images. Inspiration can come from both joy and sadness, grief and melancholy. Sometimes the inspiration may be a traumatic experience, which finds an outlet in the work being created. Alternately, "anguish and ecstasy". Some need to paint only in a state of inner peace, others, paint only under the influence of strong emotions. Sometimes this state, commonly called inspiration, oscillates on the edge of madness. Here is my clumsy attempt to convey the inner emotions that accompany creative work. The photos were taken with a standard lens and no effects available in photo editing software were used. The whole thing was about ingenuity, own invention and proper setting of lighting and additional elements.

"There is another world, yes I know, somewhere here. Not behind the woods over there, it's just here. And I feel the light burning right next to us. That's how I feel it, light burning and golden rain and rainbows rainbow overhead. Let the scales fall from my eyes, my whole face, the flame."

- Antonina Krzysztoń
