Description
***Absolute - a divine spark of inspiration
Absolute - beyond human control
Absolute - complete, infinite and unconditional
Embraced by Ars, the Artist turns into stone and becomes Ars himself, melting with Her into Unity. Or, maybe, Her touch brings the petrified Artist to life, since he cannot achieve full humanity without Her blessing.
Ars, subtle as She is, has a power over the artist, who is helpless and dependant, although rewarded with a laurel wreath. In his suffering he knows that the golden crown is a burden. As much as he would like to break free, he is not able to escape from this slavery. Alone, he cannot exist, so his soul is riven between pain and happiness, protest and devotion. Only united with Ars he can come to the complete and perfect entity - Absolute.

I would have to say that the male wasn't really drawn with your muse by your side. Take away the loincloth and the bottom half of the male looks like the sculpture of "David" by Michaelangelo. (except the half crinched hand was the right hand and not the left) The top portion of the male was quite nicely drawn. I like how the girl's hair was drawn too. Not too "frizzy-extravagant" and neither is it "mellow".

The reference to David was fully imntentional (as a connection to the artist theme) so I am very glad somneone has actually spotted it! Kudos

Wee...Okay, then I'd have to say great effort in combining elements from "David" into your artwork.

I don't know why. but this just makes me think of Sunshine, and warmth. It's very hypnotic. almost like I can't stop looking at it. And I agree with the second part of what you said. It gives me hope."maybe, Her touch brings the petrified Artist to life, since he cannot achieve full humanity without Her blessing."

awesome image and concept! The detail is truly amazing...the cracking stone...the glowing clouds...the blood trickling from the laurel wreath. Your work with human figures is wonderfully realistic.
I know what that feel like...waiting to be inspired...the burden and joy of being an artist...you've captured it perfectly.
Hope you don't mind a watch...

I've never bought a print of anything on DA, and I've never wanted to.
But i can honestly say your work consistantly makes me wish you'd offer them as prints. This one, and the painting of eros and persephone are two that I would love to have to gaze at whenever..
is there any way you'll be selling them??

I AM selling them ;D They are all available as printouts through deviantart

This is so beautiful. I love the way her embrace envelops him.. and he surrenders willfully to the pain it brings him. Loving every moment of her touch.. unable and unwilling to break free. This is a fantastic concept.. brilliantly executed..
