With The Dream Archive Paintings 02, Lina María Rincón continues a process she began more than ten years ago, recording dreams and following the images that emerge from them. What began as a deeply personal practice has become a source of images that often seem to belong to more than just herself. Dreams are individual, yet their symbols can feel strangely familiar.
Rincón does not illustrate her dreams. She brings fragments of them into the studio through symbols, atmosphere, colour and intuition. Rarely knowing what a painting will become, she allows it to reveal itself through the process of making. Only in hindsight does she begin to understand what has emerged.
Over time, she has learnt to trust the quiet images and faint impressions that arrive unexpectedly, giving space to the subconscious rather than trying to control it. Her paintings hold the frightening and the pleasurable side by side, where darkness and light are always present.
Some things stay alive in the dark, waiting to be illuminated.

With The Dream Archive Paintings Lina María Rincón presents a new body of work developed from a dream archive she has kept for more than ten years. She records images and situations that return over time and through this process recurring figures begin to enter the paintings shaping their atmosphere and structure. Working between dreaming and waking she allows these images to guide the work in the studio rather than illustrating specific dreams. Her paintings bring together interior spaces plants still life and occasional figures that are not real places but reflections of inner states. Rich colour and pattern sit alongside moments of stillness and the work gives presence to what is not yet fully understood.
