It is said that artists are forever indebted to their reveries
and imagination. This is most true of Arkiv Vilmansa. An endless source of
inspiration is the daydreams that take the artist on unexpected journeys to
unknown lands, filled with extraordinary creatures. In this imaginary
landscape, a myriad of hybrid animals and plants are born. Plucked from their
dream state origins, these creatures take a life of their own in the canvases
of Arkiv.
Vilmansa intuitively understands that daydreaming is an indispensable
part of creativity, and the canvases presented in this exhibition demonstrate
this particular sensibility. It is the artist’s way of expressing that
daydreaming is not a mere mind vacuum, but a way to unlock artistic potentials
by embracing buried childhood memories.
