Pareidolia

Published on 2 December 2021 at 16:09

Stereograms have always been challenging for me but seeing a picture within a picture, now that I can do! Even as a child I could stare at anything, a wall, the floor and see images. I always found it exciting and comforting. They say if you stare at a picture long enough you will begin to see something other than what appears obvious. Now with fluid acrylics, I am creating my own Pareidolia, or simply a picture within a picture. The thing is, everyone sees something different in the artwork. Everyone's perception imposes their own meaning into what they see. I am sure of what I  see but then someone else looks and declares they see something completely different than what I see. It fascinates me and is thrilling. I am delighted when something I didn't expect pops out of my picture. I talk a lot about giving birth to my art and it being almost like my children, well when I see an unexpected image I feel the artwork come to life and evolve beyond what I began. My art surpasses me and creates inspite of me. Fluid acrylics has mastered Steganography or the idea of Pareidolia, materializing it's own images within itself. Tell me what you observe in this picture? Can you find 5 separate images all the same type? One hidden within one,  and 5 images inside 1 image.
