ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the artists who created the eight artworks analysed in this book, and discusses each of these artworks, describing their Jungian amplification, the analysis that considers PMA, the methodology that applies a hybrid of both approaches, and the findings extracted from each artwork. Thus, it embraces their archetypal meanings through a holistic way, considering their expressive and conceptual realities, aiming to combine in their analyses an attention to both the dynamic, as if almost irrepresentable aspects cued in them, and the denotative function played by the images portrayed on a canvas by the imaginative process, honouring the act of creation of body/mind that originated them. In this sense, in discussing the findings of the artwork, it becomes possible to identify how spheres of the ego are actively imagined, and represented in the artwork as a content that engages with other issues of the imaginal reality of the artist, showing with it the configuration of her emotional experiences and memories that need integration, by the expression of the operationalisation of the patterns or themes that are portrayed in the artwork, which can be interpreted in order to mediate psychosocial conflicts the individual has in relating with consensus reality.
