Artist: Bruno Levy

Synopsis:
“I observe a bright light that appears in the center of the blackness of my eyelids. This light pulsates to the beat of my heart. At times, it is layered with digital patterns of brilliant neon colors that grow from magentas and greens into a fuller spectrum. When I open my eyes in a dark room, these patterns linger, overlaid on my field of vision. I close my eyes again. The kaleidoscopic visions return – recognizable forms emerge. They seem to exist on the edge of my subconscious. They abstract themselves into the darkness and I am left with a projection of lights and images without beginning, middle or end. They rise like waves, one after another. They are interdependent like all natural phenomena.”
