Description One of my old dali-wannabe paintings. The buildings represent the human body and physical laws that hold us in. once the ego die the soul is free. The plant helps you to get there (it is therefor outside the laws of nature). The snake represent the selftermination mechanism that starts when you are very small.

oil on canvas 33x24 cm
enjoy

your view of the ego reminds me very much of zen budhisim views of being free and being jailed by our egos...

Only one comment for this work ? It is not fine you decerve far better This is a very good painting ! Volume is very present and light very good, the global dynamic is good as well as color. The idea is also find and well put in place. My only crit could be about background, it is too enough surreal i think, perhaps some twisted mounts would be good, but well it is fine like this.
Great work !!!!!

Extraball !!! On va y arriver a force !

I cant see the meaning you are saying, but the painting is nice either way. Very surreal.. almost like one of those optical illusion paintings/drawings.
