In my dreams Im to blame 

Curator: Fernanda Suarez created this digital painting, "In my dreams I'm to blame." What's your initial take on this powerful portrait? Editor: Hauntingly beautiful. The mood is contemplative, yet there’s a simmering intensity just below the surface. I’m drawn to the eyes; they tell a story of vulnerability mixed with fierce self-awareness. Curator: Agreed. Note the artist's strategic employment of color, how the pinks and purples of the sky subtly contrast with the figure’s more muted palette, and her skillful composition using the skyline for balance. These elements serve to reinforce the emotional complexity present. Editor: Those neon wings add a surreal touch. It’s like a modern-day fallen angel, perched on the edge of a city, battling with internal demons under a candy-colored sky. There’s also a really subtle but brilliant touch – a single lunar object that could as easily be a light flare reflecting off a water droplet in the atmosphere, a point from which all light seems to be deflecting or, more literally, where one would expect to find the location of a moon. Curator: Precisely. And we can look at those digital wings structurally as a symbolic juxtaposition against the gritty urban backdrop—perhaps illustrating the push and pull between aspiration and reality within the subject's inner life. Semiotic elements such as the rose embroidered upon the sitter’s garment draw our attention and serve as a narrative emblem representing ideals that simultaneously celebrate beauty yet caution one toward careful reflection, for it too possesses thorns that render pain upon a careless observer. Editor: I see that—an aspiration tinged with darkness and regret, as the title indicates. She feels caught between being this ethereal figure and something far more grounded and flawed, which resonates profoundly. It’s a compelling modern mythology captured digitally. Curator: It does provide us much to unpack, artistically and thematically. The figure and the title, together, are highly successful. Editor: Absolutely. This piece stays with you, making you wonder about her dreams—and your own culpability. It makes one question, and art that invokes reflection such as this is always valuable.
