This was done some time ago, after I had moved out of the student residence and into a shared house where I had the chance to set up a studio in a spare room, and then later in the basement. The 13 impression are the 12 small paintings-within-the-painting, and then the one in the background which makes a bakers dozen of images. It was a transition time when I was moving away from painting florals which had been the mainstay in my early career, and then moving towards the abstract style. Around this time I also painted 'Art vs. Science' which was perhaps the first real abstract-surrealist painting I did, at least that was the one that got it going. There is a similar painting I did more in green hues, and one in red hues, both with 11 impressions and a clean design:
Together, the paintings completed the impressions series. Looking at them now maybe it would be cool to do some new ones.
