Red Crash

Design Inspiration: This series started 5 years ago as a meditation of daily "impacts" and the elements in nature. Each painting is created early evening outside and left overnight to absorb the energy of the moon at night allowing dew to fall on the paint, followed by the slow morning sunrise which calmly dries the paint and creates a delicate crackle throughout the canvas. The extreme morning sun throughout the day quickly dries the canvas and starts to show under layers of paint that otherwise would not show unless it cracked. I repeat this process for a few days until the entire painting has decided (on its own) what it wants to show us. I've left painting overnight looking one way and finding an entire new work the next - the universe takes over when I go to bed. I am the simply the conduit of the paint and canvas. Doing this allows me to detach from the art and see the art as separate from myself. Artist: Alexander Salazar | @Alexandersalazarfineart
