The technique of pouring comes from America. Acrylic paint is made flowable, layered in different colour nuances in a cup and poured over the canvas (landscape pouring). This creates deliberate, but above all randomly flowing shapes and landscape elements (such as meadows, sea and sky). After drying, the artist intensifies the existing elements and applies various motifs (such as trees, ships or houses) with a brush, painting knife and fingers. The combination of flowing and concrete exponents is what makes this technique so appealing.
