Hope Amidst Chaos- Abstract Expressionism


I created this painting with the Abstract Expressionism techniques in mind, similar to the work of Jackson Pollock. This work of art stands out from those paintings in that it contains a very specific subject hidden within the seemingly chaotic pattern of color. I have to admit that it was quite fun working in this style, especially because it is a departure from my clean and cautious style.

I have familiarized myself with the science of perception, which explains what happens when we see objects and our brain interprets the image. I have placed these random-looking splatters of paint in a specific order to give the viewer a visual experience unlike any other.

When you squint your eyes, or when you see this image from a distance you the colors seem to come together to form the portrait of someone famous. Some people have no trouble seeing the illusion at first glance, but others might have a little more dificulty deciphering the illusion. Show this painting to your friends and see how fast they can distinguish who the subject is.
