Hypnopompia is a contemporary abstract diptych exploring the liminal state between sleeping and waking, a moment where thought, image and sensation move freely before being interrupted by the return to full consciousness.

Working in misty aquamarine tones, the composition creates a soft, immersive field suggestive of drifting thought and unstable imagery. Against this, flashes of deep red and yellow introduce moments of interruption, visual equivalents of the sudden, jarring clarity that pulls the mind out of this fluid state. Collage and acrylic layering build a surface that feels both atmospheric and fragmented, echoing the contrast between continuity and disruption.

As a two-panel work, Hypnopompia invites a subtle dialogue between its parts, reinforcing the sense of transition and duality inherent in the subject. Its balance of calm tonality and sharper accents makes it well suited to contemporary interiors, from private collections to commercial environments seeking artwork that introduces depth, reflection and a sense of psychological space.
