Find YOUR Jungian Archetype II


According to Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, archetypes are innate universal psychic dispositions that form the substrate from which the basic themes of human life emerge. Being universal and innate, their influence can be detected in the form of myths, symbols, rituals and instincts of human beings. Archetypes are components of the collective unconscious and serve to organize, direct and inform human thought and behavior.


An original abstract expressionist painting inspired by Carl Jung. In my previous career as a psychiatric RN I worked with a well known psychiatrist who lived and breathed Carl Jung. I find my previous work still heavily influences my paintings

Gorgeous art! I like Carl Jung too - I'm very interested in his ideas about synchronicity.

" I'm very interested in his ideas about synchronicity."

Me too! In fact I have another series of paintings that deal with this idea
