I didn't paint because I ran out of canvas. I was in a state of "I should have hung myself back during COVID." Got a new canvas, started painting, and suddenly felt happier. So, painting for me is not just a gift but also a curse. I live while I paint. And when I don't paint, I'm just waiting for the night. I found myself in a magical place today, all thanks to a GPS error. It's something I never expected to discover in the midst of a bustling metropolis. The artwork is done in mixed media. For texture before painting, a layer of textured paste with small glass particles is applied and then sanded for smoothness. Dutch acrylic paints from Amsterdam and Italian fine-grained cotton canvas by Unico were used in the work. Finish - satin varnish. The edges are painted in the background color. Additional framing is not required. I called this series "Life in Avatar." This artwork is signed on the front and back and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
