Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description

• The dominant colors are red, white and black. • Red is particularly vibrant and catches the eye. • The right side of the canvas is dominated by a mass of red color which could represent a mass of dense vegetation or a hill. • The upper left portion of the canvas is filled with shades of white and black, suggesting a cloudy or stormy sky. • At the bottom of the canvas, there is a surface that appears to be water, reflecting the colors and shapes above. We can see the red clearly reflected on this surface, which reinforces the idea of a body of water. • Brushstrokes are visible and add texture, especially in areas of red and white. • The high contrast between colors creates a dramatic and intense ambiance. • The canvas conveys a feeling of mystery and natural power, possibly evoking a landscape at dusk or dawn, with natural elements in full transformation
