The Weddingcross

The upper part of the cross shows

The seasons to live through

At the bottom the bare winter sun

To the left the unwinding spring sun

At the top the powerful summer sun

To the right the dying off

autumn sun

The first image on the stem of the cross shows two persons holding hands and running over the summit of a mountain

The only way to go in the same time. Not one first and the other following

But if one lets go, both will fall.

The butterfly stands for the being in love, keep seeing the magic, the unknown in the other

Ying and Yang

The moon stands for intuition,

Sharing and similarity

On the contrary to the sun meaning individualism

Under the moon two people holding their heart

At their feet the Celtic tree of life

We grow quicker in honest, loving relationships

All of it resting on the Old Turtle

Who carries the world

Surrounded by the tamed dragon to

protect her

Metarealistic/Surrealistic work

Astrid Adler and her Metarealistic work.

As a young girl, she attended art classes in the birth town Brühl, near Cologne,of Dada grounder Max Ernst. The study of Surrealistic painters where part of her secundary education.

 To achieve dreamlike effects upon canvas, Ernst invented many techniques. One of these, first noted by Leonardo da Vinci, is that of observing strange shapes in natural objects. Salvador Dali, called that the “paranoic Method”. It is an interpretation of the image, depending on the level of imagination of the viewer, where in the one image, there can be seen different motives.

To achieve this very imaginative dream landscapes automatic painting is one of the surrealistic technieques used. The hand is allowed to move absent-mindedly over  the canvas and by doing so letting the subconscios emerge. The artist can then develop images based on what is seen.

Adlers work is clearly influenced by the Surrealistic painters. But she developed  a practice with the unconscios, which allowes her to guide her mind to archetype images.

That is what makes  her work Metarealistic. It does not show subconcios randomness but moves beyond psychological consciousness.

It tells of old mythology and wilderness, it is a spiritual interpretation of other dimensions. It shows us, that there is more to reality than appears at first sight.  surrealistic and metarealistic work
