Research has shown that episodic specificity induction – training in recollecting details of past experiences – improves performance on memory and imagination tasks and enhances divergent thinking. The ability to recall detail can be increased by forming a mental image –visualizing – a past or historical event.

This painting is an exercise in historic visualization using Umm al nar tomb carvings  with an overlaying or superimposing technique. Overlaying one image on another adds a new dimension to a painting and produces evocative results, conducive to creative visualiztion.
