ANIMUS

In "Animus," Roxy Peroxyde delves into the shadow side of the chakras, exploring the psychological tension hidden beneath new age spirituality. While the trends are saying Love and Light ANIMUS looks at us in the eye, smiles and says Void and Violence. 

Inspired by Carl Jung's theories of the collective unconscious and shadow integration, each painting is a prophetic window into the artist's own life—addressing themes and challenges she intuitively anticipates before becoming fully conscious of them. 

Sourcing ideas from the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, Roxy Peroxyde's figures embody archetypal energies that resonate profoundly, activating introspection and reflection on personal narratives shaped by unconscious patterns.

"Animus" acknowledges the necessity of facing discomfort, fear, and resistance as integral steps in personal growth. Through this powerful collection, viewers are invited to courageously engage with their inner shadows, discovering strength, authenticity, and a deeper connection with themselves.
