Enantiodromia is the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time and the artworks in this exhibition reflect a personal journey of the individuation process and shadow integration; exploring introspection, automatism, projective hypothesis and active imagination, Catharses navigated the darkest regions of their psyche. Catharses' first body of work documents the death of a past and a birth into the future through subliminal images of avant-garde surrealism.

Enantiodromia is the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time and the artworks in this exhibition reflect a personal journey of the individuation process and shadow integration. Over the course of four years exploring introspection, automatism, projective hypothesis and active imagination, Catharses navigated the darkest regions of their psyche. Black scenes, slowly built up with lighter layers, rise to the surface as the evolution of images attempt to capture the mesh of ever changing reflections of the mind. This natural process of draining emotions to bring structure and meaning to them allows an escape for the melancholia that plagues life. With a multitude of hidden layers, Catharses was able to supersede the evolution of their artworks with the flick of a brush creating new strokes of details, marks, and splatters. The pieces undoubtedly all exude an ominous presence along with mesmeric energies begging to be discovered. The artist, while simply following the guide of their own subconscious, was able to reinvent how dark art, surrealism, and abstraction are capable of being woven together to create something new that is neither fully representational nor completely abstract. Upon first glance, the artworks could almost be mistaken as being abstract due to their ambiguous appearance, but as soon as the artworks pull you in, details of skulls, birds, winged serpents, amphibians, and other creatures begin to surface through the obscurity. It is through this genius reflective harmony Catharses possesses, the pieces in this exhibition are so easily recognizable as being created between varying states of consciousness and unconsciousness. Through extensive experimentation, developed techniques similar to how expressionists are able to approach the creation of art with emotionally charged atmospheres the artist used loose brushstrokes of paint on a blank surface to create a distorted reality of their subconscious mind which was then further enhanced when the artist began to see images emerge in the paint. These images were not manipulated to come into existence however, but rather highlighted to become visible. Given the name "Catharses”, which the artist has chosen to be represented by, it is evident these artworks are charged with pure emotion that urges the viewer to feel what the artist feels and to see what the artist sees, and realizations of the strong feelings and emotions brought on by the artist’s personal demons.
