Dagmar Popp was inspired to produce Pink Floyd by a illustrating the process by which, a white beam of pure white light hits a crystal producing a variety of beautiful electrifying colours. This process and colour combination visually looks very similar to Pink Floyd's 1973 album cover entitled "The Dark Side of The Moon", hence the name attributed to this painting. The colour white possesses numerous and different aspects and properties of light, a spectrum that is visible to eyes of the observer. Darkness can and only does exist in the absence of light, and a single white beam of light is capable of transforming the darkest of feelings and even places into something that is beautiful, both from an inner and outer perspective.

In Feathers, Dagmar Popp portrays a different approach to a dreamland. In this painting, greenish waters are suspended somewhere, but nowhere in particular, whilst droplets of water drift into a pond and a little fountain. Fields cover entrances into little building like shapes, all of them being guarded by a surreal presence hiding behind its feathers. Are these feathers those of a bird or an angel watching over this dreamland and its inhabitants? The strong but yet calming energies reflected in Feathers are enhanced by fiery red colours. Joy is splashed out by yellowish colours representing the sun, illuminating this dreamland, which can only be found by drifting away from the common mental place us humans have come to describe as our daily life.

Standing between the sky and earth, firmly grounded is the representation of a man or woman or human being's body (the observer is free to let his or her imagination choose the being). That being's body's outer shell is painted in red and orange colours. Inside that body, the fluidity of various cells is represented by the colour blue. As if almost holding a shrine, a sacred golden centre, representing the heart of the being (the beautiful core of all beings) can be observed. The upper-outer symbol in the sky could be the sun sending its rays of light straight into the inner heart of this being's body. When looking at the big picture, everything and all is connected; everything and all receives the revitalising energy - That is I am That I am

We can only imagine the vintage or antique house or wall which holds this door, but where does this door open to? Where does this path lead to? Which space will be available for us to discover upon its opening? The door seems to be old and crackling, yet strong enough to protect and hide which has yet to be found or discovered until it is opened. Subtle symbols on the Door can be observed as well as symbols leading the path to this door, all assisting the imagination of the observer. One of these symbols is helping and assisting the path towards discovery, by shinning the light to the appropriate solutions. Where do we find such solutions? Solutions are to be found from within in order to be projected to the outside world.
