Artist Statement Dreaming in Colour Oil on Canvas, 170 x 170 cm Bel Parsons
"Dreaming in Colour" is an immersive celebration of joy, emotion, and the limitless spectrum of the human imagination. In this work, I explore the blurred line between memory and mood—between what we see and what we feel. Thick, gestural layers of vibrant colours surge across the canvas, blending and colliding in a chaotic harmony that is both instinctive and intentional.
This piece was born from a desire to create a space where happiness could be felt without narrative—where colour alone could transport, soothe, and uplift. The composition invites viewers to lose themselves in a kaleidoscope of emotional energy: is it a wild-flowing garden, a deconstructed rainbow, or simply the sensation of dreaming in colour?
