Summary/Abstract: Scientific research in the field of psychology has highlighted the existence of different structures within the human psyche, the main distinction being the conscious and unconscious parts of it. Carl Gustav Jung, a psychotherapist with a vast culture in the fields of philosophy, literature, anthropology and ethnology, managed to make connections between the parts of the psyche, which he identified, and the millennial experience that still influences the life of modern man. The concepts of archetype, collective unconscious, symbol are among the factors of overwhelming importance, not only in the process of the individual's psychic development, but also in the creative act of the artist, who through his work manages to actualize certain behavioral models or instincts that have been internalized during the evolutionary process.
