Last week, I delivered two paintings and on place, the new owner and me were discussing how to hang the paintings, its colours, the influence of light and how they fit into the room.
The art one chose reflects its personality and it is often influenced by unconscious thoughts and feelings.
Abstract paintings stay longer interesting because, depending on moods and life circumstances, you can always find something new in it.
However, art paintings enrich your home, given that they hang in the right place.
Last week, I created a new piece of art, I painted a garage door.
Well, it’s a different kind of art, the art lies more in the paint itself.
Il y a quelques jours, je me suis garé ma voiture et oublié de fermer la porte, elle était visiblement ouverte. Un voisin, avec qui nous n’avons pas contact (qu’est une longue histoire d’affrontements interculturels), dit un autre voisin de me faire savoir.
Même si il n’a pas parlé directement à moi, il se comportait d’une manière civilisée. Je l’ai trouvé normal, ne pas pensé plus loin.
I’m a little torn on this issue.
On one hand, I want my pictures give a title, and by him telling, what I deliberated about while painting. On the other hand I give a direction and thus influence the viewer. I don’t want to define the direction or interpretation, each viewer should develop its own thoughts and reflections. However, a title can also be stimulating, it may well be so, that the viewer would never get the idea behind the painting and it could be quite enriching to be drawn to this path.
So far, I intensively worked with colours, their production and application, and I learned a lot about the interaction of various binders, and produced some really cool effects 🙂
For example, I got the idea for my paintings "After the Fire" and "Ashes" when cleaning the fireplace after a nice and cosy evening in front of it. The picture above is a montage created from a detail of my painting After the Fire and charred wood.
The surface of these paintings is relatively flat, it gets depth through the application of different thick layers of colour and raw pigments.
