La búsqueda espiritual a través del arte

This article aims to recognize the unique work of the great artist Hilma af Klint, displaying her particular quest through visual art and contact with the spiritual world. Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish painter, Carl G. Jung´s contemporary, whose images have had an impressive echo in the last decade (after several unsuccessful attempts to disseminate her work). Both called for observing and experiencing the world from a different perspective. In Af Klint's images, as in those of Jung's The Red Book, we find similar influences from the movements that permeated European culture at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the presence of the spiritual quest proposed by alchemy. A brief overview of the context of the artist and her work will be provided, focusing mainly on two of her series: The Tree of Knowledge and The Swan, belonging to the large set of Temple Paintings.
