ABOUT THE WORK

JC Jacinto brings to the surface a ‘psychic reality’ that we normally have access to only in our dreams. Here, in an alternate universe all his own, JC Jacinto treads the thin line between “what is beautiful” with “what is hauntingly disquieting”. JC Jacinto’s ambiguous subject is visually captured probably in the process of metamorphosing into another form. Although the painting’s organic form shows the influence of surrealism, many of the visual elements in the entire picture testify to Jacinto’s highly individual imagination. This does not distract from the force of the image, whose form gives the work an enigmatic quality.
