Stoned – Sara Atrouni

“This artwork is made by pouring liquid acrylic paint onto a plastic surface and peeling it off after it dries. I wanted to explore what a painting would be if it was reduced to its most basic form — just paint by itself, without canvas or a traditional surface. The paint becomes something independent, almost like a skin that exists on its own.
I choose the colors and decide where the paint begins, but after that I let gravity, time, and the surrounding environment guide what happens. The paint moves, spreads, and mixes naturally without being fully controlled. Because of this, every piece develops its own shapes, textures, and patterns, and no two works can ever be exactly the same.
The work allows the paint to reveal its own movement and physical presence. It shows how something beautiful can emerge from a balance between intention and chance, control and letting go, where the material itself plays the main role in creating the final form.”
