By using watery acrylic paint, the artist is able to pour and manipulate the direction of the liquid.
This allows her to somewhat dictate the composition of her seemingly spontaneous abstract paintings.
Some of Maike’s paint pours are also reminiscent of the long, glowing oral arms of tropical jellyfish.
The Germany-based fluid artist starts every piece by covering her canvas in a base lather of acrylic paint.
Then, she carefully pours colored paint on top of a canvas, creating wavy lines and swirls.
Each finished painting is a stunning amalgamation of color, skill, and time-sensitive labor.
Equally as impressive (if not more so) is the technique behind Maike’s portfolio of work.
Lucky for us, she shares her creative process through videos onInstagram.
