Original artwork description:

It is an image of our entities that live in the dark forests of our depths, and we know that they are there and that they are looking at us, but we are afraid to see them in ourselves, and consciousness blocks them.

Only sometimes the light of awareness will flare up for a short time, reflected in their eyes, and we again plunge into the fantasy delusions of the dormant forests of our ideas about ourselves.

The painting is made in the author's technique of thick application of oil paints with fingers, almost without the use of brushes. It is something similar to Jackson Pollock's performance method called "action painting", but in a modified way. And this technique is similar to the style of performance "pointillism" used by Georges Seurat and other artists of this school.

The painting consists of many small multi-colored specks that optically mix with each other at a certain distance and form a single colored spot.

Paints are diluted to the desired consistency and applied to the canvas at a distance with specific hand movements. To apply the next layer of paint, you need to wait for the previous one to dry, so the work takes a lot of time and effort.

This manner of performance gives an opportunity to pour out all one's energy on the canvas with active physical movements, and often it looks like a dance or some kind of magical ritual.

The work consists of three parts of 70x70 cm that can be exhibited individually and all together, and will have a size of 70x210 cm.
Made on canvas without a stretcher. Shipping from Madrid around the world is possible in a roll or, at the request of the buyer, it is possible to stretch the work on a stretcher before sending it.
