“Heavy Concepts” cubist surrealist painting in making (oil on canvas, psychological symbolism)

Title: "Heavy Concepts” 2022
Oil on Canvas, 16" X 20"

High density abstractions
Like flakes of heavy snow
Descend on quite waters of
The mind to be absorbed.

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. During the 4th stage I improved the overall look a bit more and added the finishing touches.
