Inspired by his boss's passion for creating art he began manifesting visions into art again using various mediums. Below are some of the results that took place around the time that COVID-19 ended one world and gave birth to another world.

After a month of frustration at being unable to draw or paint anything that he liked, he found ProCreate's radial symmetry guide. The symmetry guide is a tool that is present in every painting and drawing program that has ever existed. That is when he stopped TRYING to make art and instead began to slowly and deliberately PULL infinitely random abstract art into this world from some other dimension where it seemed to have already existed. He had done this 20 years earlier while living in Rome, Italy with the painting program Corel Draw where he created about 10 paintings that his oldest friend told him looked like mandalas. The words Symmetrical Painting seemed to describe this new form of art better than the word mandala. Mandalas are always circular, much more repetitive and evoke prejudged design expectations. All paintings on this website began as random scribbles made while in a trance like state trying to deal with a period in modern history that at times felt like the end of the world. These paintings are some of Loid's favorites out of over one thousand that he created throughout the unforgettable year that was 2020.

Loid had not used any kind of paint since 2012 when he painted his solar visions that eventually caused psychosis.
He had only ever experimented with Acrylic and Glow Paint. The idea of oil painting was intimidating but because it became part of his job he tried his best. He was sure he had learned everything that was contained in his boss's online oil painting course which was in the process of being created. His boss had a passion for painting with oils that she wanted to share with the world. If Loid had more encouragement from his boss and a little more self esteem who knows what kind of art could have been produced. He only managed to create 4 oil paintings which are below in order starting with his final painting down to the first.
