Origami

While |I was working on this painting
I wanted to make realistic birds.
But in the process of carving the paste and adding different materials,
The shapes came out more geometric.

I decided to add more mediums, working with layers of colors and transparencies.
The result is quite unusual for my style.


Looking at the end result
I realized that those unusual birds reminded me
Of the birds a waitress was doing folding the napkins in our family restaurant
Long time ago.
Those forgotten memories sent me straight back to my past.

In the practice or the arts we have to learn to let go of some control and rationality to make space for the subliminal.
