Another astonishing painting created by Otto Piene using a

unique technique that includes the use of fire! But why didnt the
painting burn when he set it on fire? And what is the story behind
this fascinating painting?
This piece of creative art looks very aggressive and reminds me of death.
The reason for that is that the metallic, shiny circle in the middle looks like
a gunshot and the painting is very grey, and misty. There are no colors,
which make the painting very lifeless. I can almost hear the booming
sound of a bomb and the horrifying screaming of people. This could be a
symbolic representation of a gunshot. Even though this painting reminds
me of miserable events, I still think that its breathtaking how someone
can make such an amazing painting only using fire and paint. Its very
attractive and brings out lots of emotions; this painting makes people
think and brings out lots of connections. The piece of art looks threatening
because of its frightening colors and natural explosions.
I observe different shades of grey, black, and white. I think that the artist
might have done that to add a bit of shadows and contrast to the painting.
I notice an appealing texture that brings dramatic effects to this art. I can
see a rough 3D surface but also blurry and smooth areas, which make this
artwork, stand out more.
I think that the artist was in an exiting, creative, and risk-taking mood
when he made his artwork because this painting is unalike to other
artworks and he probably didnt care about making any mistakes. The
creator was most likely focusing on being creative and original, not making
it prefect. I infer that the artist was in an inspirational mood because this

art is very creative not only because of the fact that it was made by fire,
but also because this painting is not something you would see everyday.
In my opinion Otto Pienes incredible painting has definitely brought a
change to the creativity of art, showing other artists how it feels to be
creative and trying new experiments with their artwork. His style is very
original, because not everyone makes his or her painting using fire. I was
amazed at first when I saw this artwork and it really spoke more than
others. Unlike other paintings this artwork felt like it really had a
meaning/purpose and was not only made because the creator felt like it.
