绘梦的少女

Dimitra Milan, 来自美国的16岁女孩，父母也是艺术家，Milan 从12岁接触绘画，现已成为一名特立独行的艺术家。以下是她的作品以及感触。

“I paint what I see as beautiful, noble, true, and worthy. I paint women because they are beautiful, and they represent how i feel. I paint animals as symbols and believe they represent a deeper meaning. I’m not always aware of their meaning. I just paint what I am attracted to the moment from an inner need to see what my imagination looks on the canvas. The painting tells me what it means, like there is a divine voice inside of it that tells me its mysteries. Sometimes what I paint is from what I have dreamt at night.  Like Vincent Van Gogh, “I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”

我画我认为的美，高贵，真实和价值。我画女性因为她们的美，同时也反映出我内心的感受。我画动物来作为象征，我相信动物潜在有更深层的含义，虽然我并不能完全理解，不过我总是有一种想将我的想象展现在画板上的冲动，画会告诉我它们的内涵，就像有来自内心圣神的倾述，在述说着它们的秘密。有时我会画我自己的梦，就像文森特•梵高，”我梦我的画，我画我的梦“

“I love the connection humans can have with animals. I also like to paint these two subjects together, because it automatically makes a story appear on the canvas. Each animal is different, and can be a symbol or meaning. Combined with a person, it creates a powerful story.”

人与动物之间有如此紧密的联系与情感让我感到喜悦，我也喜欢将两者画在一起，因为两者在画板上自然而然的就赋有了剧情。每一种动物都是不同的，有自己独特的象征或者涵义。当与人相结合时，就创造出了意味深长的故事。

“I think the places I see in my head and then paint are a combination of places I have been to and also what I dream at night. I have had many dreams where I am swimming underwater and able to breathe underwater. The sea in Greece is a great inspiration, with its crystal clear, perfectly calm water. I admire the beautiful, powerful ocean waves in Hawaii.”

我所画的场景往往是我现实与梦境结合的奇景，我有很多梦，梦里我在水下畅游并且能自由地呼吸。希腊，那水晶一般透明与平静的海是灵感的源泉，同时我也爱慕着那迷人而有充满力量的夏威夷海浪。

“There’s a whole other world underwater, full of life and beauty. I always imagine that I’m flying when I swim. I feel like I have no weight. I love to capture these feelings on to the canvas and show another world of possibilities. And water can be a symbol of our life. It can be easy and clear. The deepness and wideness of the water shows how far we’ve come and where we’re going. The animals are parts of us, things and thoughts connected to our lives.”

水下是一个崭新又绚丽的世界，充满了生命力。我总是想象自己在水下飞行，感觉不到束缚与重力。我爱把这样的自由，充满无限可能性的感受表现在画板上和大家分享。水可以象征我们的生命，可以是简单而又清晰的，海的深不可测与狂野不羁仿佛又道出我们从何而来（渊源）又将去往何方。而动物也是我们的一部分，一切事物和思绪都与我们生活息息相关。

“I hope that viewers feel invited to live inside the paintings and encounter a presence of beauty. I want them to feel that anything is possible, empowered, and free. I want them to get a sense of divine love and find a dreamy realm where they are inspired and uplifted”

我希望观众可以感受到来自画的邀请，去体验画中的世界并与美丽邂逅。让他们感到无限的可能性，能量以及自由。我想让他们能感受到一丝神圣的爱，找到心灵的世外桃源，在那被启发，升华。
