Metarealism is an art that pictorially describes and investigates the veils surrounding the mysteries of the human psyche. It makes observable a dimension of reality that ordinary psychological perception cannot grasp — the vibrational metaphor beyond the visible.
Metarealist art is inspired by a metaconscious perception of reality. It seeks to pictorially describe and investigate the veils surrounding the mysteries of the human psyche — an expression of metaconscious observation of reality.
Metarealism is also a tool that tangibly demonstrates the invisible links binding us to our karmic memory, which constantly manipulates every facet of our lives.
Unlike involutionary art, which evokes the frustrations and sufferings of the unconscious being through psychological symbolism, metarealism pictorially describes the interdimensionality of our real identity. It becomes a channel for the expression of a science of art able to tear away the veils of psychological symbolism and draw out its real nature, revealing it in full light.
It expresses the hidden frustrations and struggles of the unconscious self in search of its identity, through the euphoria of a symbolic form of the lower mind. A distraction of the soul, with little in common with the interdimensional identity of the ego.
Inspired by a higher consciousness, it becomes a channel for the dictation of the conscious science of art, rather than a merely "free" form of expression. The mental artist directs his creation toward the highest expression of his consciousness.
It pictorially describes the interdimensionality of our real identity. Addressing the superconscious rather than the subconscious, it opens the multidimensional perception of reality and tears away the veils of symbolism.
Meta simultaneously expresses reflection, succession, going beside, between, or with. Meta also means "about", as in metaphysics: the physics of physics. In science the prefix denotes self-reference — a meta-book would be a book about a book — and a higher level of abstraction, a model.
Metarealism is a poetic form which, freed from conventionalism, opens onto the "other" side of the metaphor. Where metaphorism plays with the real world, metarealism seriously attempts to capture an alternative reality — the entire range of metamorphosis, in the full spectrum of its possible transformations.
"There is far more mystery in the shadow of a man walking on a sunny day than in all the religions of the world."
Metaphysical painting — the Italian pictorial movement Pittura Metafisica — was founded in 1917 by Carlo Carrà and Giorgio de Chirico, who met in Ferrara that same year. Their aim: to paint an alternative reality engaging immediately with the unconscious, where an illogical reality appears credible.
Using an alternative logic, they juxtaposed ordinary subjects — austere buildings, trains, mannequins. Their alliance lasted less than a year, but it gave considerable impetus to the development of Dada and Surrealism.
Metarealism, for its part, has very little to do with Surrealism: it addresses the superconscious rather than the subconscious. Its essence is signified by the metabole — the opposite of hyperbole — meaning "transfer", "transition", opening several dimensions. Where the metaphor is only a fragment of the myth, the metarealist image attempts to restore mythic unity.
