imagination to create new images and positive visualisations, which can help us in leading a better life. By using the metaphor of developing insight through observation the artist shows the perceptual ability of the painting to allow the viewer to bridge the gap between the subconscious and awareness. The painting accelerates the viewer's sensuality and perception and taking a different route leads him back to re-association and reconception, only this time at a higher level of consciousness whereby the spectator becomes the author / creator of his own perception. Paintings are like mirrors that change together with us as our perception of the world changes. This means that by way of self-awareness we become capable of feeling our own thoughts independently. And with this we can penetrate matter and change the world. A painting with its vibrant composition becomes an eternal companion of the inner dialogue. Think positive – think abstract. Imagination opens the door to the universe. And the universe is abstract. And the thoughts are the soul of the world. Zala Prislan 72
