An artwork I created painting a different story to every side. All of them, combined, form a multileveled reading of the story composed by the viewer's eye. A duck seen upside down, with a phrase written on it's head was the spark that suggested what the painting would look like in the end. A message saying "when? then only, only then" is written multiple times, creating a whole world with surrealistic characters. The painting is like a journal of his making, from raw canvas texture to lines and writings, expressive gestures and flat colors. Therefore a dialogue is suggested of what elements do I choose as a viewer, to write- project into the story of the painting?

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids.
