“Made-up Entities” cubism painting in making (oil on canvas, cubism, symbolism, surrealism)
Title: "Made-up Entities” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 30" X 30"
I made you in my own image,
Into your lungs I breathed new life.
Your face displays a happy grimace.
You flap your wings, you ache to fly,
But surely you will disappear
The moment you are out of sight.
The video was created using a time-lapse method, 1 shot per 15 sec. Video rendered at 30 FPS. 1 min of the video is equivalent to 7.5 hours in real time.
In the 1st stage of making the artwork I improvised a few shapes and colors directly on canvas. After the 1st coat was dry I applied the 2nd one adding more details to the picture. During the 3rd stage I did highlight and sharpen multiple areas of the painting and further improved the overall look of the artwork. I finalized the painting’s look during the final, 4th stage.

Making the cubist painting “Thought Bubbles” oil on canvas, surrealism, symbolism
Title: "Thought Bubbles” 2021
Oil on Canvas, 18" X 24"
I catch the thoughts,
The floating bubbles,
Arrange them
In coherent strings.
It took me an extra long time to finish this painting (about twice as much as I usually spend on an artwork) thanks to the thing called mood swings. Those differences in the mood and the states of mind affected the painting style in various painting sessions. I started to work in a kind of wiggly/roundy style, then in the 4th stage (the footage is missing due to camera issues) I painted the lady in squary/liny style. That’s when I noticed the difference. I wasn't happy with the clash of styles and tried to bring the artwork toward a uniform look. Which pretty much meant repainting the whole thing.
The video was created using a time-lapse method, 1 shot per 15 sec. Video rendered at 30 FPS.
In the 1st stage of making the artwork I improvised a few shapes and colors directly on canvas. In the 2nd through the 6th stages, I was painting and repainting until I was satisfied with the overall appearance. During the 7th and final stage I did highlight and sharpen multiple areas of the painting and further improved the overall look of the artwork.

Surrealist, cubist painting flow. Making of the original artwork "Self Isolation"
Title: "Self Isolation” 2021

Surrounded by intangible walls
In my self-constructed prison
I can hear the nature's voice
Humming the song of freedom.

During the 4th and final stage I did highlight and sharpen multiple areas of the painting and further improved the overall look of the artwork.
