The use of aluminum as texture in art dates back to the 1950s, when a group of American artists known as “Abstract Expressionists” began to use non-traditional materials in their artworks, including aluminum. Among these artists are Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Robert Rauschenberg, who all experimented with aluminum to create unique visual effects in their paintings. I have been applying this technique since 2012.
Welcome to this video art tutorial, where I will explore the amazing world of abstract art by creating an abstract landscape on a canvas aluminum foil texture that will amaze the eyes and stimulate the imagination.
I will guide you through every step of the creative process, applying techniques and tips that will help you achieve the desired result. You will learn how to use colors, textures, and shapes to create a unique and captivating abstract forest landscape at night.
The choice of aluminum foil as the base texture for our artwork will allow us to play with light reflections and metallic undertones, creating a striking and modern effect. This technique of using unusual materials in art is an innovative way to push the boundaries of creativity.
I’m excited to take you on this artistic journey, where you will discover new possibilities for your own artistic practice and create a breathtaking abstract landscape.

Me parece un trabajo precioso, pero sigo con la duda sobre el papel aluminio. No se desplegará del lienzo???. Gracias ..
El oaoel alumino, no se despega del lienzo???
Bellisimo! 👏👏 Hermosa la gama de colores y la tecnica excelente! Saludos desde Argentina 😊

Lovely. The depth is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Bellísimas texturas ✨️✨️
Too gorgeous for words! You are truly inspirational! Tx for the awesome video
I don't understand why the first 2-3 layers have to be developed so delicately and in detail, if the next 3-4 layers of paint completely cover them afterwards 😮😊
Stunning, I want to paint again.
Who does not see your art is a poor person
Yo! I totally had no idea that aluminum foil had any uses outside of smoking opiates and making anti alien butt probe hats! Mucho love, grande respects, BIG BIG PROPS AND HUGE RECOGNITION! LOL… No but for reals though, great job. I love it… I'm a big fan of Urban exploration so I really enjoying taking pictures and videos of decaying buildings and such and you really caught my attention here because it seems you were really great at projecting a rustic, abstract state of decay here. At least that's what I perceived here. Keep up the great work buddy! You're really good at what you do…
Fabuloso! Wow, beautiful and original. Súper ❤❤❤
Hello. do you use glue?
🥰 Muy buena técnica, hermoso cuadro!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!!👋🇦🇷
WAS THE ALUMINIUM POPPING THROUGH AFTER THE LAYERS.
Guess that the crucial point.What's the back of canvas like on completion. Brown taping I suppose is called for. Good work.
Sergio, this is very beautiful. Thank you. ❤
Wonderful/evocative colours, and shapes! So, i noticed that You didn't etch there surface of the aluminum foil … i had been told it was crucial … i trust Your process.
I like it, very interesting and Beautiful alufolien Technik❤
Pienso que cuando el papel aluminio
Se seque ,se desprenderá de la canva
Thank you for explaining clearly your use of paint and the different techniques to create such lovely artwork
Magnifique travail …quel manipulateur de couleurs😊
