The boundaries between sleeping and waking can sometimes become blurred as our consciousness drifts off into another world - or slowly awakens from sleep.

In this picture, I wanted to visualize these two phases and dissolve the boundaries between them. The owl represents sleeping and the night, while the rooster stands for activity, wakefulness and the day.<\/p>\n<p>\"The alchemy of being awake and dreaming\" is an image from my <a href=\"https:\/\/sonjaneuroth.de\/en\/animal-portraits-2\/#alchemie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alchemy series<\/a>in which I unite opposites and different states in one painting.<\/p>\n<p>This painting is done in many layers with acrylics and oils.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the development process here:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:360px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" src=\"\" class=\"fusion-hidden lazyload\" title=\"YouTube video player 1\" data-privacy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ehet55O8uIc?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ehet55O8uIc?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder\" style=\"width:600px; height:360px;\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder-content\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-label\">For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.
