A non-representational, acrylic pour painting on canvas, "Catastrophe" invites its viewers to feel a psychedelic experience through its use of colors and the application of paint on the canvas. This allows them to get lost in the painting by admiring the multitude of colors on the canvas, or in this case, the catastrophe presented in front of them, however, the purple that is abundant on top of the piece shows a side unbeknownst to the viewer, the creative process that is undergone to create a painting.

In crafting this piece, the artist began somewhat blindfolded, having absolutely no idea of how to begin and what colors would go well during an acrylic pour painting, he considered this a challenge and somewhat of a handicap. Creating an artwork with an unfamiliar technique is a challenge in on its own. Making it look good? Well, that is up to the viewers to decide.

The artist experienced various pitfalls in doing this painting, firstly, he had no idea how to mix the paints and fluid medium together to create the perfect viscosity of the paint that is thick enough to be applied on the canvas, but with just the right amount of liquid to flow smoothly. With that done, the artist then began to apply paints of various colors, however, he felt that he had lost control of his work and deliberately began to ruin it. His first attempt being a failure, the artist coated the canvas with the mixture of paint and began pouring a new layer of various colors onto the canvas, thus giving him the satisfaction of a good artwork-- well to his eyes that is.

Catastrophe seeks to give viewers the feeling of being lost in a sea of colors, finding serenity in the piece, despite the catastrophic process that the painting (and its artist) endured during its conception. This also reiterates the fact that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and that what may be seen as beautiful to some, may not be seen as that to others, however, this doesn't mean that a piece should be discredited just because of the finished product, since one never truly knows the blood, sweat, and tears that an artist has poured out in their work.

With those in mind, Catastrophe is a piece that aims to tell people of the tedious process that artists endure in crafting their art. Despite its psychedelic colors and fluid shapes, the process in making the piece says the opposite. With the darkness of the purple representing the hidden facets of tediousness in the creative process, Catastrophe aims to showcase it being something that can either make or break an artwork, but regardless, this also means to show its significance to the final output-- that no matter how tiring or troublesome it may be, the artistic process will always play a part in a work of art.
