Blocked In Time Painting

This painting is part of the series 'Symphony' because of the way it has been made, but it is a sort of evolution comparing to the previous works. In fact, while on the first 3 works I've only used black and pink Enamel paint and worked using wooden sticks, on this fourth painting I've added some acrylics and some steps to the process. More in detail, once I've completed the painting, at first very minimal like the other ones, I felt compelled to add some more, then to paint over completely with white paint, then with black, then again with white and so on. Each time I was going deeper and deeper into myself, until I suddenly "woke up" because of some noise. I remember looking at the painting knowing it wasn't completed still, but started to clean up anyway. All of the sudden, while watching the water from the tap cleaning my hands, I realised I needed to do the same with the painting. I so placed the painting over my car trunk, and with a bottle of water I've literally started to clean it up. Then I've started to splat pink colour on it, then water again. Until I knew it was done. I remember that moment clearly because knowing the water was still falling over the painting, I had to act very quickly to take it down to prevent the water for ruining the final work. Once I've done so, I've shouted "Uff! Blocked in time!", and it was clear that was the painting title, which by the way is not correct in English. I've decided to leave the wrong title because in Italy, where I come from, we have a similar expression which can be translated into "Stuck in the past". It felt appropriate, due to the fact this painting made me realise I'm somehow prisoner of my past (which I would like to clean up, just like the painting), and it is perhaps time to move on.
