That artwork is diptych and one of the black butterfly’s trilogy. It was made using the techniques I named Interlineation and Puzzle Art & 4D.
Material Used: strings, rags, puff and acrylic paint.
Mixed media: acrylic and collage.
STATEMENT OF INTERLINEATION
Interlineation is the result of the evolutionary summation of all my experiments and research I've made in my artistic life. By gluing strings to delineate I realized that the strings give me the freedom to create implied sense figures subconsciously. After applying the strings on the canvas, I see the result of creation from all angles, so I work on them. In creating this technique, I realized that it solves the big issue known as blank canvas by themselves because each figure gets its own space in its self-creation resulting in an interesting game of interpretations by viewers, whether in the same or a different angle. I also consciously draw figures using the same collage technique. The composition/aesthetics in both cases is made consciously.
"When I get an amount of strings to apply on the canvas it's as if the design was already in that tangle of strings in my hand and I feel like I have lots of pencils at the same time.
INTERLINEATION ALLOWS ME TO SET THE ABSTRACT DESIGN FREE AND THE RESULT IS PURE AND TRUE ”.

STATEMENT OF PUZZLE ART & 4D.
That technique is an innovation. By moving and or switching the canvasses on the diptych, triptych and polyptych the image transformation takes place. I named this Puzzle-Art. In addition, I realized that technique represents the fourth dimension.I named this 4D.
"PUZZLEART & 4D could revolutionize the way of creation in the visual arts and I hope it awakens all people to the fourth dimension.
That technique has never been done in the visual art and as I have never seen a painting made by a technique like that, I think, I have made my contribution to the art world”

Artwork description: when you switch the canvasses occurs the transformation from a butterfly to a pyramid and sphinx, suggesting that the search takes place in Egypt.
4D SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION
Scientifically, the fourth dimension is represented when the third dimension formed by three axes (x, y, z) represents a cube. This cube moves in a fourth axis (w), which represents the time dimension, by changing the information in the cube and with time shift so you have a hyper-cube. This is what happens with that artwork when these two canvasses, each one representing 3D, move and switch sides changing the image(information) and having the time shift.
MY INTENTIONS AND MY GOALS
"For a longtime artists represent the 3D (depth) on 2D canvas. However, Pablo Picasso anticipated the fourth dimension on 2D canvas in his cubist period. I started to make diptych, triptych and polyptych influenced by cubism. Then I evolved into this new way of creativity. I’ve done this since 1986 and I will continue developing this new technique and I’d like to encourage other artists to try the same way because I think it’s time for upgrade – from 3D to 4D - and we should set the fourth dimension as a new trend in the visual arts.
It would be amazing to display "The Black Butterfly... " using a robot to change the images every 1 or 2 minutes. Resulting in an interesting integration of robotics into the visual arts".
