Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

You are all good, and yes this is my work, but it is heavily inspired by Yuyoi Kusawa's infinity net paintings which really intrigued me when i was first exposed to them. The repeating pattern felt like it was vibrating off the canvas and I wanted to capture that effect in color pallets i found more interesting, the base layer is made up of 5 different colors of blue painted in an impression of a blue sky with a little bit of whispy clouds which allow the blue to peak through, it was a beautiful, but i wanted to draw a sharp contrast to it by going accross the color wheel and mixing a mostly red orange using a cadmium red hue and light cadmium yellow. Then i used that mixture to draw a repeating brush strokes and rotating the canvas to break up the pattern aftet i had a few rows put down. The goal was to create a painting that feels like the colors are vibrating off the canvas and for the viewer's eyes to have no real point of focus allowing their eyes to dart around the painting viewing the sculptural like heaviy brush strokes. In short i was trying to create something i think is beautiful to hang on my wall. I never understood abstract expressionism untill i was heavily exposed to it after multiple museum trips and learning alot about what went into the art.

Ah, so it's more of a study, more about how it felt to do the painting, than "what it means"? (I fear looking up who your inspiration is and all them what their art means... πŸ˜…)
