Description ..meaning freedom in Latin, Libertas is a word we can all connect to, is it not??!
I try more and more to apply this concept to my art, but it can seem difficult at times, as there are 'rules' in creating art that sometimes confine us. But the imagination is like the Matrix...there are rules there, but they can be bent and broken!
So I definitely went nuts with this image, and even though it has a dark vibe, I wanted to keep it whimsical and playful. You can find baby elephants, zebras, and bunnies in there!
And last but not least, our human element. For me, that bridges the gap between the viewer and the painting, and dammit I can't help doing that sometimes!

Have fun exploring the piece, then get back to creating!!

I'm glad you added the human element because I absolutely love it. You have this massive construct the boggles the mind, yet immediately the eye is drawn to the lone figure standing almost defiantely in the face of this enormity. By far one of my favorites that you've done!

I love the lighting in your work, it's so beautiful, not to mention the alien style it presents.

i totally agree with your conception of the "human element". It bridges so perfectly… I mean, without anything to refer to, I think I would've never seen what I see now : I gigantic thing made of pipes an tentacles, sort of incarnation of a lovecraftian god… But would it be Cthulhu or Azathot ?
Love your composition anyway.
Let's have a fav !
