"Yoga" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), cubism, surrealism, symbolism
Title: "Yoga” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 30"
Ow... ow... ouch!
The mind reflected
The screams of the body
Stiffened by neglect.
The video was created using the time-lapse method, 30 frames per second. 1 shot per 20 sec for the first 3 stages, in the 4th one I changed the frequency to 1 shot per 12 sec to add more detail to the video.
In the first stage of making the artwork I improvised a few lines with a pencil. Right after that I applied the 1st coat of paint. In the 2nd stage I made some general improvements by applying the 2nd coat. Then I applied the 3rd coat to improve the overall look, followed by the final (4th coat) of paint to further improve the look.

"Extinct Ideas" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), cubism, surrealism
Title: "Extinct Ideas” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 28" X 20"
Swarms of ideas come to life.
Most sink into oblivion.
Few grasp the heads of millions,
But none for long survives.

"The Ancient Brainwash" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), cubism, surrealism
Title: "The Ancient Brainwash” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 16" X 20"
Can hundreds and hundreds of years
Of brainwash that is deeply entrenched
In my mind and in those of my peers
Be recognized and erased?

"The Blind Leading The Blind" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), cubism
Title: "The Blind Leading The Blind” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 18" X 24"
They feed you lies and fairytales,
Planting nonsense in your head.
Watch out! Or you might end up
With crippled mind or simply mad.

"States Of Mind" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), pixelated art style
Title: "States Of Mind” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 24"
From one state to another
I hop in a frog-like grace.
Exhausted by a hundred leaps
Limp back to the starting place.
The video was created using the time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec.
In the first stage of making the artwork I improvised a few lines with a pencil. Right after that I applied the 1st coat of paint. In the 2nd stage I made some general improvements by applying the 2nd coat. Then I applied the 3rd coat of paint with the half inch wide flat brush to give it a pixelated look. If that wasn’t enough for some reason, I continued to work on the painting with a quarter inch wide flat brush, making it a 4th coat.
I increased the speed of the video in the 3rd and the 4th stages to 300% to make the video more exciting. As a result, the total length of the video was shortened to 4 min from the original 10.
It took about 100 hours in total to complete this painting.

"Consciousness" 2021, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), pixelated art style
Title: "Consciousness” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 28" X 22"
A mystery that dwells
Within one's brain.
A riddle to be solved.
A challenge for the brave.
... or for the mad?
The video was created using the time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec.

I also increased the speed of the video in the 3rd stage to 150%.

At a crossroads 1080p
Title: "At A Crossroads” 2020
Oil on Canvas, 28" X 24"
Your heart will be in pieces,
provided you head right.
If you go left, eventually
you're sure to lose your mind.
Turn back?
There's nothing to be gained.
Perhaps you'll find some answers
if you continue straight!?
Fully improvised oil painting from scratch. The video was created using the time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec.

"Shapeshifting" 2020, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), improvisational painting
Title: "Shapeshifting” 2020
Oil on Canvas, 24" X 24"
The mind of yesteryears
Is not the same today.
The constant flood of changes
Remolds it and reshapes.
Improvisational oil painting from scratch. Time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec.
Lots of perspective changes, still figuring out the optimal settings for taking photos. Experimenting to get the best angle, light conditions and camera settings for the painting, without being distracted too much from the actual painting process.

"Attachment" 2020, the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), improvisational painting
Improvisational oil painting from scratch. Time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec.
Lots of perspective changes, still figuring out the optimal setting for my environment. Experimenting to get the best angle, light conditions and camera settings for the painting, without being distracted too much from the actual painting process.
Title: "Attachment” 2020
Oil on Canvas, 20" X 16"
I'm attached to you
By the ropes of desire.
The invisible force pulling me
To the warmth of your fire.
When I come too near
the mesmerizing flames,
My feelings get scorched
And I cower away.
Glancing back at your beauty
I forget the pain.
Will I repeat the cycle
All over again?

"Genuine Romance", the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), improvisational painting
Improvisational oil painting from scratch. Time-lapse method. 1 shot per 30 sec.
Lots of perspective changes, my apologies. I’m still figuring out the optimal setting for my environment. Experimenting to get the best angle, light conditions and camera settings for the painting, without being distracted too much from the actual painting process.
Title: "Genuine Romance” 2020
Oil on Canvas, 24" X 24"
I'm not that great.
You're far from being perfect.
We're for each other meant.
The genuine romance!

"Decluttering", the making of the original artwork (oil on canvas), improvisational painting
Improvisational oil painting almost from scratch (from the 2nd coat). Time-lapse method. 1 shot per 20 sec. I increased the speed of the video footage of the 3rd and the 4th coats to 300% in the final edit to make the video shorter. About 90 hours of painting crammed in less than a 4 minutes video.
The painting was started a few months ago, but I had to stop and to move onto other projects. After the 3 month break I continued where I left off, in the middle of the 3rd coat.
Title: "Decluttering” 2020
Oil on Canvas, 40" X 30"
When the mind is freed from garbage,
There is nothing left
But life.
