Subconscious Soul: This Original Art Painting was completed during June 2009 using acrylics mixed with egg yolk and applied to 1/4 inch plywood.
The painting may be delivered framed upon request. An advanced therapy patient of mine (I am also a hypnotherapist) identified this work as being "The Inner Self."
PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ARTWORK:
According to Carl Jung this could also be ANIMA - The feminine inner aspect of man; also described as the soul; the psyche; or the unconscious state. it may be also referred to as the subconscious; the deeper hypnotic trance state. Also, according to the artist / psychotherapist Edward Longo the Anima within man could also be considered as, The Subconscious Soul. It can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a male possesses; or the masculine ones possessed by the female. Jung stated that the anima/animus archetype was not totally unconscious, calling it, a little bit conscious and unconscious. In the interview, he gave an example of a man who falls head over heels in love, then later in life regrets his blind choice as he finds that he has married his own anima–the unconscious idea of the feminine in his mind, rather than the woman herself. The anima is usually an aggregate of a man's mother but may also incorporate aspects of sisters, aunts, and teachers.
Wikipedia: Anima and Animus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_and_animus
The anima and animus, in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology, are the unconscious or true inner self of an individual, as opposed to the persona or outer aspect of the personality. In the unconscious of the male, it finds expression as a feminine inner personality: anima; equivalently, in the unconscious of the female, it is expressed as a masculine inner personality: animus.
