Excellent work! Really love the clean modern look! Looks really technological. I like how the back round seems to flow into her. Again This is really great!

Hahaha I love your quote/description.
And flamboyant, impractical head pieces.
I don't know who Frank Lloyd Wright is (now I'll look him up), but this makes me think of 21st-century-Klimt.

Interesting work, conjures mixed feelings for me. From the thumbnail it seems a very warm and comfortable place, but in the full view when the angular elements are visible and I can see the subject anchored to the floor it seems a lonelier and colder place. Different

Somehow this strikes an Aztec chord with me.... I love how the guy looks like an ornate bird and how everything's made of squares... wow, very cool.

Holy moly
I am always excited when I see new works from you, excited and frightened at the same time
This is fantastic, so different from anything I've seen from you. I'm so associated to your soft lines and shapes, that this comes as such a refreshing surprise.
As always, the luminescence is just perfect. Haunting, mysterious, surreal.
A whole other world

It's the only word I can think of to describe the feeling.
It's like going down on a roller coaster!

I hear a soundtrack playing, when looking at this... classical music I think.
Love the "hat"

I like the colors and the headgear on the figure, it looks like stained glass.

I'm particularly fond of how it leads the eye---at the figure in the center, down and back up the "walls" and then down the headdress to the figure again. The eye never leaves the image. And there's such an amazing sense of 3-D space with the tight perspective and little floaty dealies! Brilliant.
(Of course, My midwestern sensibility sees shards of Frank Lloyd Wright windows in the hat, and I love it.)

very interesting work, especially how the figure and the background connect.

wonderful. I really enjoy the international/Deco style coming through the goddess of war-esque representation. Almost as if Mondrian did figural work. Brilliant!

Yes!!! This is what I am talking about,*nyctopterus! This is so radiant and the use of the soft colors are amazing;You used these soft colors in such a vibrant way.But what I really like about this is that it has this "killer goddess" spark to it.But once about,I will ask you....What is the concept? Or are you,again,going to say it is a secret??? Again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, but this a secret between you and me... and anyone else that reads this. The clues are in what I am: an atheist--a deep atheist, but always someone that sees one step deeper than their own beliefs. The picture is of someone in a "small" universe, yet they make a lot of it, and this small universe also beautiful (I hope), partly because of what they bring to it. Yet the picture's also snarky. In the end it is all unresolved. Which is how it should be.
Thus ends the most cogent explanation you're ever going to get out of me.

She has "goddess of war" written all over her, from the razor headdress to the blood-stained hem.
