Description

The inspiration for this painting is the insight of the connection between Aurora Borealis and the unique shapes and curves of the tree bark. This insight is expressed in every painting from the Northern lights series.
Every time the natural unpredictable pattern of the tree bark lead the way how I’m making the basis for the three dimensional composition. Some works are completely randomly done, some are designed by me and some are mix of both.
I am applying 2 layers of acrylic paint on the bark in order to have a smooth surface for the following colors. Then I am following the natural curves of the tree bark with fluorescent paints to express the movement of color in the night sky.
The gentle three-dimensional surface combined with fluorescent paint under UV black light results in a painting that unveils fully at night.
