Abstract
The present studio-based paper aims to explore the creative reflections of the aesthetics of otherness within the
practical phases of the painting production. This paper represents an experimental endeavor to create a twodimensional artwork, which is a hybrid painting technique on canvas with mixed media and acrylic paints.
Within such a specific practice-based context, each phase of this practical approach outlines a critical
significance from the first phase of creating that painting to the completing phase. The practical methodology is
the tool that converts the researcher's/artist's vision into creative academic production. The process of creating
the painting on the canvas is the methodology; such manner turns to be a primary reference for the present
exploration. There is a significant paradigm in this approach, which focuses on the artwork as a morphological
creature being created by the researcher/artist rather than a consequent result that only exists as a
finished/complete/polished outcome. The outcome of this research is the record of the artwork production itself.
This record presents visual references of the artwork progress as well as a textual reflective narrative to describe

this process with written words. This research-oriented artistic attempt introduces the artists and researchers in
the domains of the Fine Arts to integrate the process of art-making into the methodologies of academic research.
It is an academic text, reflective text as well as sequential images recording the artwork making. This studiobased experimentation is significant because it examines the aesthetics of the otherness into the expressive
figurative abstraction in painting. Furthermore, the impact of such a studio-based approach manifests on
advancing applications of the artistic oriented research in the field of Fine Arts globally on curatorial and
academic levels.
