Volume 21 Issue 8, August 2019
“To create the picture titled #17, I used the so-called pouring paints technique. What fascinates me in this technique is the unpredictability of the result. You don’t need brushes, you don’t use knives; all you need are cups with acrylic paint, a board or canvas, some creativity, and a bit of luck. When my paints are pouring and mixing on the board as I tilt it, I sometimes imagine that I am a gold miner with the board in place of a pan. I gently tilt the board with the hope of seeing some gold. When working on #17, I did not pan any gold; however, I have no regrets, because what I found is the most beautiful malachite gemstone on earth.” More of the artist’s work can be seen at http://iushakova.com.
