Spilled ink nr2
If the focus is laid on painting only one half of a canvas, to later only be copied onto the other half, what becomes the wholeness? In my mirror-effect paintings I am spontaneously pouring out color on one half on the canvas, it’s an experiment of free expression and the result when the canvas has been folded is often a surprise.
I use black acrylic paint mixed with water on a beige background, the colors makes me think of ink spilled out on old paper. The symmetry and balance of the composition is what makes the technique interesting. Even if one part is simply a mirror reflection of another, there will be a final wholeness that creates a new image different from the one and only half I focused one to start with.
I have been very inspired by the Rorschach inkblot test, which is used as a psychological test to analyze a personality.
