Artwork Description

- “Past Present Future” is a surrealistic masterpiece that explores themes of self-discovery, the mysteries of the universe, and the passage of time. Blending vibrant colors with symbolic imagery, the artwork invites viewers into a dreamlike realm filled with introspection and wonder.

- The upper portion features a vast expanse of ocean and sky, evoking the infinite and unknown. The eye-like planet suggests universal wisdom and surveillance, while the serene boat signifies aspirations and the journey toward an artistic paradise. In the lower portion, the ruins symbolize the artist’s past and moments of personal transformation. The Spanish dancer, positioned in the center-bottom of the canvas, embodies freedom, creativity, and resilience—a celebration of personal growth.

- With its rich philosophical underpinnings and striking composition, this artwork combines surrealistic charm with deep emotional resonance, making it a thought-provoking piece that connects profoundly with the viewer. It is not just a visual feast but also a reflection of life’s complex beauty, making it a valuable and meaningful addition to any collection.

Artist Bio

Corrine Rui Wen is a contemporary visual artist based in Brisbane, creating atmospheric, cinematic paintings shaped by light, memory, and emotion.
Her work explores quiet moments that feel like fragments of unfinished films—scenes suspended between reality and dream, where light becomes a storyteller and space holds its own emotional resonance.

Drawing from her background in film and visual composition, Corrine approaches each painting as a crafted moment of narrative. She works primarily in watercolor and acrylic, using softness, depth, and shifting luminosity to evoke intimate worlds. Architecture, sculpture, landscapes, and interior spaces appear in her work not as literal subjects, but as emotional environments—places that invite contemplation, nostalgia, and the quiet tension of unspoken stories.

Corrine’s artistic sensibility is strongly influenced by classical architecture, European cities, and the cinematic atmosphere of Italian film. Yet her interest lies not in depicting places as they are, but in how they feel—how a warm corridor, a distant horizon, or a window catching late light can stir memory and create connection.

Through her paintings, Corrine aims to offer viewers a sense of stillness and presence—moments where time slows and emotion becomes visible. Her paintings are held in private collections across Australia, with ongoing sales through curated online art platforms. She continues to develop new series that explore the interplay of light, silence, and inner experience.
