Alejandro García Contreras: Exploring the Collective Subconscious
Alejandro García Contreras' work is showcased in "The World as a Labyrinth", featuring ceramic cosmologies, bronze narrative, and cosmic paintings.
His art taps into the collective subconscious, a concept described by Carl Jung as a living field of imagination that reshapes itself through "original instructions" in the human psyche.
The best art often begins with this kind of soul call, transforming creation into a mission.
Authors converge on the notion of a collective subconscious to explain the recurrence of symbols and archetypes across time and space.
Contreras' work is deeply attuned to the flow of universal consciousness shared by humanity across eras and geographies.
