Alegria Painting

Alegria, painted in acrylic, in 2013, in which the artist wasn't committed with rules or ideas, what allowed him try new technics. In this way, he let the paints drain from the top of canvas controlling the amount of paint he would drain. This is a kind of contemporary Tarashikomi technique, meaning "dripping in". This is a Japanese painting technique, in which a second layer of paint is applied before the first layer is dry. In this particular case, the artist applied numerous layers of paint onto the canvas.
