This acrylic pour artwork represents a repentant mental state that laments for atonement for its sins which has been depicted through the eye of the dragon. When the dragon is done wreaking havoc, the destruction caused by his crusade becomes visible to him and the burning rage in his eyes is replaced by a streak of painful remorse. Overcome with guilt, he longs for penance and his anguish flows out of his eyes in the form of tears of repentance. The human mind also longs for retribution after letting loose its carnage and is overwhelmed with regret for what it has done. The main technique employed in this artwork is Crackling and is visible in the background of the painting in the form of cracks and crevices. It represents the weathered appearance of a dragon in distress. The process involves applying a base coat of latex or acrylic paint followed by a layer of glue once the paint has dried. Thereafter the second layer of paint is applied on top of the glue while it is still semi dry to touch. Glue absorbs much of the water from the paint. As the surface of the paint is drying, the glue is swelling or stretching from this additional moisture. The swelling of the glue effectively "pulls apart" the top coat of paint. As a result, the crackle effect is achieved.

NEHA SINGH. A Fashion Designer by professional qualification and a self-taught artist who is passionate about innovating, I found my calling in art and decided to delve into the depths of this exquisite form of self-expression. Although I specialize in oil paints as a medium, my work also includes other media like acrylics, precisely the technique of acrylic pouring. I have been painting and creating original works of art from whatever inspires me at the spur of the moment. I like to experiment with different techniques of painting, with an aim to create texture in my art pieces, thereby giving them a three-dimensional effect. I am highly fascinated by colors, hence most of my artworks have a vibrant color palette. Apart from oils and acrylics, I do try my hand with dry mediums like chalk pastels, charcoal, and pencil color every once in a while. I have tried my level best to hone my skills and expand my horizons. It is my endeavor to produce unique works of art with a tactile feel, which are not only realistic in nature but also a visual and symbolic representation of the intangible.
