This article aims to explore the active imagination as strategy to create visual art to express collective unconsciousness. The psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung believes that in the deepest mind of the human being we are all unconsciously connected by symbolic images inherited from our remote ancestors, that phenomena define our instinctual behaviour. This research used qualitative approach applying art-based methodology. Two volunteers who are interested in visual arts participate in this research. The technique to collect data is by observation, structured interview, reflective portfolios and study document. The practices are implemented in an art studio at Bandung-Indonesia within November 2021. During the encounter, we explore the method with drawings and painting. The findings show that if the volunteers are committed to follow the steps of active imagination, they can create visual arts that reflect the collective unconsciousness. © 2022 WMSCI.All rights reserved.
