“Among The Shadows” cubism surrealism painting in making (oil on canvas, psychological symbolism)

Title: "Among The Shadows” 2022
Oil on Canvas, 18" X 24"

Touch the sun,
Go up in flames.
Then claim your place
Among the shadows.

The video was created using a time-lapse method, 1 shot per 15 sec. Video rendered at 30 FPS. 1 min of the video is equivalent to 7.5 hours in real time.

In the 1st stage of making the artwork I improvised a few shapes and colors directly on canvas. After the 1st coat was dry I applied the 2nd one adding more details to the picture. During the 3rd stage I did highlight and sharpen multiple areas of the painting and further improved the overall look of the artwork. During the 4th stage I improved the overall look even further. After that, in the 5th stage, I continued to work on improvements, because I have nothing better to do ;)
