ARJAN WINKELAAR

We are two monkeys encountering wakefulness in a sleepless forest. The people around us, on the streets form the trees, they are what makes us perceive our dense reality as a forest. A place where we can climb the trees, ignore this urge or stay put with the others. Whatever we choose, it’s the right choice. Our aim is to be wakeful and our greatest enemy is dreamless sleep. Because without dreams there is no room for magick and will our consciousness slowly die. This is not (and will never be) our mission. 

It is my mission to make the magick surrounding us visible once again. To show you and me how magick touches us, how it’s alchemy always surrounds us, and how we have never truly lost this. My art is a mirror, a window into the observable alchemy that slumbers within you and me. I want to give you that magick, to show you the road to your subconscious in the lines of my drawings. Are you willing to walk with me into the fields of alchemy, conjure the planetary sigils and let my images bring forth the alchemic symbols of your subconscious?
