Using Dreams as a Filter

Using dreams as a filter for painting may sound surrealistic, but from certain aspects, it can be defined in a really realistic way, as if it's a moment of everyday life. I do not see myself painting a surrealistic moment, as i'm only defining the moment in my subjective 'virus of concepts', which is extremely realistic in my case. Apparently, this way of filtering a moment, or anything might cause a slight schizophrenia in perception, but the aim here is to make it possible for viewers to experience the very act of dreaming, bringing vision into envisioning.

A distorted perception and filtration of some particular terms is different in such ways;
filtration as definition is the act or process of removing something unwanted from a liquid, gas etc. by using a filter. I believe that this definition of filtration can be used as an act of control over dreams, emotions and distortions when painting. For me, painting is the act of using these elements as a filter, it's a painterly way of lucid dreaming. It's the separation of unwanted or unnecessary elements to be able to represent a 'better' version of the particular moment. As Odilon Redon has said in his autobiography, 'To Myself': 'There's a certain style of drawing that the imagination has liberated from the embarrassing concern of real details in order that it might freely serve only as the representation of conceived things.'
