'Fluidity' Original Art Painting Timelapse 4-14-23

This is a 16x12" acrylic and ink painting on a canvas board.  This piece began by painting over a previous painting created years ago by myself; it was a portrait of a roommate from many years ago.  That painting which no longer served me or fulfilled my aesthetic sensibilities will now lie entombed under this new artistic offering.  This is another entry in a series of trippy drippy eyes which I like to create, symbolizing the fluidity of consciousness and reality which the artist is able to perceive and tap into at will.

Painting over old paintings is important to me.  Not only does this advance upon works which do not hold enough weight to me, but it also imbues new pieces with a hidden energy which lies below the surface, known only to the creator.  Sometimes, this adds an important amount of Impasto to the painting above.  I personally really enjoy painting on a canvas or object which already has marks applied to it, as opposed to a fresh canvas.  It creates another creative dimension which subtly interacts with the process, and it can require more creative fluidity in order to work with this added dimension.  Perhaps most importantly, it saves money and recycles important art materials, allowing for stronger pieces to come into creation.
