Talita Hoffmann’s Dreamlike Paintings

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared the work of Tali­ta Hoff­mann on this blog. I’ve noticed a tran­si­tion in her paint­ings over the years, espe­cial­ly in terms of col­or. Sev­er­al years ago, she used sat­u­rat­ed blues and pinks. Since then, she’s tran­si­tioned into hues that are more sub­dued. As always, her paint­ings are of a nar­ra­tive per­sua­sion; They are  jammed-packed with char­ac­ters, envi­ron­ment, and ulti­mate­ly, sym­bol­ism. Tali­ta says that the flow of images comes almost uncon­scious­ly are very dream­like, and often with­out lim­its. They cause dis­com­fort while hold­ing our atten­tion — just like when we’re dreaming.
