Experiment 14

Last illustration of the year. Experiment 14 started like all my experiments (a doodle), but I liked where it was going, so I decided to boost it to about 7000×4200 pixels and work on it as much as I wanted, to finish it.

The process has been incredibly smooth, which helped in delivering this semi-abstract composition, one aspect I recently thought I’d like to develop.
Sometimes I feel that excessively realistic and figurative representation of subjects become a constraint for the mood I intend to express. I’m glad I managed to stay away from these virtual “chains” of my mind.

In a way Experiment 14 is the culmination of all the previous experiments. If you notice, since Experiment 1 I’ve been trying to fade the figure into a background, playing with solidity and perception, real and unreal.
I consider this piece a little step ahead in my search for personal expression.
I’ll keep working this way as much as circumstances allow me to.

PS: I even made a new signature, something that doesn’t look as nasty as my actual handwriting.

Thoughts

Trying to find adequate words for this.

To me Originality is “expression of origin”, not “creation of something new”. Being “original” is the ability of accessing our most primordial state of being. It’s much harder than simply creating something new within the levels of imposition we experience daily.
Who cares about that?

Let’s break the rules and let’s see what happens.

It’s very hard, but getting to know how our experiences have shaped us into becoming this fictional creature we think we are is very important in order to start deconstructing everything.
In other words: let’s enjoy life by expressing the purest form of imagination. No compromises.

I’d really like to live in an unchained world where the only thing that matters is mutual respect. Other than that: wildness!
