This paper seeks to contribute to the comprehension of the image’s nature and its role in the generation of meanings in communicational processes. Based on theories from Durand (2002), Jung (1994, 2011), and Damásio (2004, 2011), this reflection explores how symbolic images are built – from the role of archetypes and human beings’ capacities of imagination and perception – and how this type of image constructs the meanings that it produces. As a result, we propose a concept of image as a basic and essential element in human thoughts that precedes ontologically and temporally the word and produces immanent and transcendent meanings.
