Tiarna Herczeg

Says Tiarna Herczeg of this work, "This painting depicts a place I had a dream of. The blue is where I saw the house in my dream, the green is where an open field was and the red is where my family stood. Somewhere in the Isaac Region, QLD."

"The unknown within my work exists in the things I cannot fully explain. There are experiences that resist language. Dreams, feelings, encounters, and moments of recognition that remain difficult to communicate to others. Painting allows me to sit with those experiences without needing to resolve them.

"My paintings are not figurative, abstract, or portraiture in any fixed sense. They operate somewhere between these categories. They are not illustrations of memories or beliefs – they are evidence. Proof to myself that what I experience emotionally, spiritually, and intuitively is real, tangible, and alive."
