Art work Name: Delicate dream Reference artist:Martin Blank Reference artwork:Fluent Steps (public artwork in foreground)
My work mainly uses acrylic paint and UV glue. On the canvas, I painted a lot of flowers in fresh and bright colors and filled in the gaps with turquoise leaves. This "background" makes the picture more shiny and clear. I covered the canvas with white paint. This makes the portrait on the canvas as if it were growing in water. The idea was inspired by looking at the glass sculptures above. On the top of the canvas I used UV glue to create a lot of irregular curves and transparent patches. The jagged shape is meant to mimic curved glass. Different glasses reflect different colors in sunlight. At the same time, I used UV glue to paint a lot of water ripples on the canvas. I sprinkled a lot of beads with the same color as flowers on the canvas and arc to simulate the decoration of light. The viewing Angle of the statue is the eye level of the canvas. But you can tilt the canvas at an Angle to look down. This allows you to appreciate different elements from different angles. At the bottom of the sculpture I put a lot of petals that seem to float on the water. I also made butterflies in two parts of the sculpture. These butterflies are also transparent. Petals and butterflies symbolize light dreams. In the middle of the raised acrylic model, I also attached a lot of gems. I ended up using a hot glue gun to create silk threads to wrap around the sculpture. This reflects the lightness and illusion of the dream. This model is as transparent and fragile as the outdoor buildings I referenced. That's why I named this painting "Delicate Dream.”
