Like this kind of stuff, surrealism and Dali are my favorite. I feel a message being portrayed here about the spoils of victory?

wow you are very good at what you do. It looks as if you have recreated a scene from on of my strange dreams I sometimes get. If only I had the skill...

A very fine painting, stunning....

I love this. I also think I understand it. If I do understand it then I disagree with the sentiment (being an optimist and a Transhumanist). However, that doesn't change my opinion of the art. It's superb.

Well done!

I like the stairways that going up in the void .... and force you to get down ... at least I understand it Does it an oil painting ?

i love how your work is always so symbolic and unique.. it's truly your own and not a knock-off of somebody else's "empire".. and has more thought put into it then most others..
every time i see a piece of your work it also reminds me of a psychology book i once read.. i love that book, and i loved the art in it..
