Description Andddddddddd, voila!
Title: "This Approaching Repercussion"
16"x20", acrylics on canvas. Completed January 27, 2013.

This is my first attempt at painting one of my more traditionally surreal images. I rather wish the photo did this a little more justice -- but alas, this is the best I could do.
Where do I begin with this one? I put about as much thought into it as I would one of my drawings; in fact, this started out as a sketch I did in a recent sitting. There's a certain, added depth that came with using color...I feel like it accurately conveys the initial visions I was having.
My thoughts have been a little all over the place, as usual. In the moments I was painting this, I reflected on all the little abstract patterns in my life -- I can't stress enough how much of an impact they have on what I create. Lately the patterns have manifested themselves in communication -- the way people talk to (or often, at) me, what they say, phrases they use, etc. This painting is of such reverberation, I suppose.
I won't say anymore; see what you will, take a hint, lose yourself -- whatever you want. There's significance in everything, I hope you enjoy!

YouoUoOOOuuouUUu're too lovely, my friend! Thank you for the thoughtful review! I especially love your interpretation of the clouds; I actually enjoyed painting that portion the most, but I didn't think too much afterwards about what it meant. (:

I think there's a sort of Peter Pan syndrome incorporated into a lot of my work, though I don't often mention it.  I find it interesting that you feel that way towards this piece in particular.O:

Krikonn In reply to Mivala [2013-07-02 19:28:27 +0000 UTC]

ahh, i wish i could explain exactly what it was...it reminds me of something i've almost felt before, many times throughout my life, but it's just barely out of reach. if that makes any sense. but looking at it from the "abstract patterns" perspective, i can definitely see some interweaving rhythms in the picture that could be interpreted as a reflection of life's patterns...it's cool!

i know absolutely shitworth about art, especially paintings, and have never had so much as a lesson or class, but i swear i see the convergence of your favored renaissance and surrealistic styles here, along with a third, even more modern style i would not even know the name of (not having any knowledge of periods or artists or such), with the composition subjects and fluidity, dramatic and far reaching perspective, and (for lack of a better phrase) brush stroke intonation, respectively. im digging further and further into your gallery and really liking what im seeing.

Everything is balanced so well! My eyes sort of circle around the image... The square holes are the coolest part in my opinion though


That is the first eye-hill-reaper-candle I have ever seen!!!

Mivala In reply to J-Hump [2013-02-07 17:20:30 +0000 UTC]

Haha, indeed there was a lot of thought.:') So many things always happening in my life and they all go straight into a painting or drawing.

This one is actually outdated now, I think! I painted it like, last week, but already I've escaped the "trouble" that caused it.

J-Hump In reply to Mivala [2013-02-07 17:25:50 +0000 UTC]

I agree. My life experience and daily thought go so deep in to my paintings. Though many appear simple there's a story and a lot of thought in each one.

wow, very nice!! I love the composition and the title gives it a dark feeling. Its so surreal because the colors may seem almost happy but the images are disconnected and foreboding. AWESOME WORK!! (and great detail for a 16x20)
