"Les Souvenirs Cachées" (The Hidden Memories) Acrylic on canvas. This painting is inspired by the involuntary and unconscious removal of sad or traumatic memories. Repressed memories may never recur in the form of a conscious memory in a person's life, but still affect their behavior. In some cases, the repressed memory can recur as a "Flashback" and manifest itself as a vivid memory, bringing back to the present sensations experienced in the past. Repressed memories were first studied by Sigmund Freud. I wanted to express this feeling through this painting: the skull with the gaze turned towards the observer (part of the present) represents the solid but hidden element of our face and container of our thoughts, it rests on magenta-colored tears (a primary color near to the spectrum of red alarm color), violets are fragile and delicate serlvatic flowers that grow in the shade of the undergrowth, moths are nocturnal and in this painting I have represented them while they are in flight and grouped together creating the illusion of flowers ( flowers that could lose their petals in unexpected flights, as if they were moths, at the return of a memory camouflaged in their unconscious and hidden from consciousness). The painting is currently applied to its frame, but since the longest side is 100cm, the safest way to ship it is to roll it inside two tubes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ All images and text relating to this work are copyright © Elisabeth Turci.

Born in Belgium and currently based out in Italy. I create paintings and illustrations with a dreamlike and surreal style inspired by symbolism, alchemy, folklore and mythology as well as fantastic and sci-fi literature. In my paintings there is a constant search for historical symbolism. I use the same conceptual approach with which I started as a published author before dedicating myself to painting. My intent is to explore the emotions, even the most difficult or dark, with a hint of kindness. Art is my way of elaborating them in order to grow, to face reality without forgetting to dream. My paintings has been featured in books, magazines and exhibited in art galleries in Europe and USA.
