Such spaces may be seen only in dreams, where everything is somehow different from what it is in reality; and much is not clear. But then comes an unexpected response from the subconsciousness, which is strikingly exact. This may be a response to the questions – what is the difference between the ships gliding on the water (if this is water? Or maybe this is a mirage) and the ship sailing in the air. What is the difference of the hauler, who is in this dreamlike space from us, viewers?

Victor involuntarily carries himself into the painting's space, and identifies himself with the character deep inside. In this case, the person that drags the ship in the sky along the seashore is the artist himself who cherishes a hope of his own, that is metaphorically represented with a sailing ship. All these images are coming through the artist's mind, which may not be logically explained, even if we tried. During the creation process, the artist is in a world that is not quite real. Metarealism, which is Victor Bregeda's method, is the way to reflect the feelings of desires, aspirations and philosophical quests. Nearly all of Bregeda's artworks are based on sensations, and not on logical conclusions. He likes to ask himself questions in his paintings, and sometimes it is hard for the artist himself to respond to questions on what he meant to say with his art. Victor loves the mystery or the secret, and not the clue...
