I know there were a couple of previous posts in the past about the difference between these 2 words but neither was answered adequately. Can someone explain? Or, are they essentially synonymous?. The SD definitions would make one think so.

Encima indicates on top of something, ie: El cuadro está encima de la mesa. (The painting is resting on top of the table)
Arriba indicates above something, ie: El cuadro está arriba de la mesa. (The painting is above the table, such as its location on the wall).
