Following the painting ‘Garden of Earthly Delights’, I decided to work on another piece integrating figurative elements into the painting, but with more fragmentation and layering. What resulted was a painting with more bodies and figures than initially intended, perhaps more from an unconsciously effort on my part. I determined that I did not want the male bodies to be very obvious, so that one would need to search for them, and that the layering would create movement and abstraction. I did not want things to be too obvious, leaving the observer with more questions and curiosity than answers.
