Therapy in art is essential in the work of Poveda. The topic of anxiety and wanting to escape is something that many can relate to. The artist speaks from personal experience and finds strength through the work in that he is able to eventually break free from such emotions and torment. The corroded nature of the work is symbolic in that these feelings are eventually conquered and left behind to rust.

SDED-Cloud, 2023
Acrylic on canvas and canvas rolls on plywood
28 x 24 x 1 inch (71 x 61 x 2.5 cm)
My 2023 creations would not be accurately represented without this December 2023 last minute piece.
SDED-Cloud is trying to bring out the canvas from its natural 2D (flat) state into the 3D universe. Rolls of canvas are building a three dimensional shape that is way too important to just stay within the confined perimeter of a 24 by 24 inch space. The smooth visual transition tools from flat to 3D are, optical illusion, real 3D objects, and a controlled color relationship. The 2.5 dimension work is always a fun task to suggest it exists.
[With all due respect to the great architect Adrian D. Smith who designed the world’s tallest building, this art piece wasn’t inspired by his work, and was never meant to represent one specific structure, but rather all the great structures of the planet.]

This is a dreamscape, landscape. Do you see trees? Rocks? The desert?

This is number two in a series of 10 "Conglomerates." I was thinking of my love for fantasy literature and fantasy art and that fantasy dwells in the imagination. Then I remembered that Sigmund Freud's first published work was called "On the Interpretation of Dreams," and since fantasy is a kind of wakeful dream, instead of Freud trying to unravel one of his patients' subconscious, I turned the tables and had Imagination imagining Freud. If you look down on the bottom left, you can just see Freud tentatively peering out at the audience wondering what is going on!

Because John Lewis was such an inspiring man, it was very easy to find inspiration while painting him. This is an 8" X 8" Oil painting.
