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.

wow. *understatement of the millenium* words can really not put into words how gorgeous and realistic this is. Their poses. Their skin. Every freaking detail. It made me gasp and the escription furthers my infatuation of this piece. Fabulous, marvelous job.

This is very beautiful. I especially like the expression on the woman's face. And I love how it looks like they are emerging into the clouds from the rocks. It is very serene, and calming.

Good Job.

Whats with the blood on the olive crown ? did she hurt him , the proces is violent (turning 2 stone),he hit his head and he's imaginig this or it's just a sign of humanity used for giving life 2 the artist ?
Just a question ? but still there is blood

Laurels are symbolizing being an artist. Blood symbolizing the "negative" side of it. That it isn't "as nice as it looks" kinda' thing

Pescaru In reply to dahlig [2005-06-22 07:42:04 +0000 UTC]

Now I got it , but why is he a dark sided artist ? I think there is a story behind the picture... but if i don't know it The draw seems empty.

Kevi [2005-06-21 02:22:59 +0000 UTC]

This is really an amazing work. Though I first though that it was hinting towards the Pygmalion story, where the artist carves a statue and falls in love with it and prays to Venus to make her alive. ;
