The unique art of acrylic pouring

How do you create a painting that flows and weaves like nature itself? For me, it starts by mixing just the right kind of fluid acrylic paint with a very specific pouring medium. Even small changes in the ingredients and their mixing can lead to very different results. I have experimented with a wide range of different pouring mediums and pigments from several manufacturers to discover just the right kind of blend to create the distinctive look of these paintings.
 

And then there’s the art of the pour itself.

I spent years finetuning a satisfying pouring technique that is at the core of the unique look of these paintings. I pour the mixed liquid over a surface where it starts to flow on the two-dimensional plane and create mesmerizing abstract, organic shapes. With time, I learned how to partly control the chaos on the surface and direct it towards the look I’m after. But there’s always an element of surprise, coming from the chaotic laws that the fluids abide to.

Each one of the paintings is truly one-of-a-kind.

Furthermore, some of the mediums that have been essential to creating these fluid paintings are not in production any more – making these paintings a truly rare breed. Therefore, I’m happy that these unique paintings are now available to a larger audience with the high-quality fine-art prints. We’ve spent a lot of time & effort to make sure they are true to the original, unique artworks.
