the composition reminds me of egyptian tomb art, hieroglyphics... i guess that's the point though?

I always try to make pictures in style of ancient petroglyphs or tomb art but in my personal interpretation of course.

haha yes! this one more than the others though, because of the horizontal surface at bottom, and the processional motion from right to left; there's some monument illustration i've seen that is very similar. like a monument to commemorate a battle. i think things like that in ancient times evolved into (petro/hiero)glyphs & language. (although a lot of the oldest clearly linguistic relics appear to be related to commerce or account keeping).

they are similar to books with illustrations, fragments of different events from people and gods life. In fact, I think these dead languages and images were perfect

This is brilliant! I love the figures...it kind of reminds me of someone cultivating a crop - a crop that's obviously much more than corn or potatoes.
I've been curious while looking through your art...I noticed a lot of forms that look like ships, and figures who seem robotic in nature. It reminds me a lot of what I know of...what is it called? Ancient astronaut theory? The theory that what we worship as gods were originally travelers from other worlds that we, as a primitive species, perceived as gods or great spirits, and who gave us great knowledge of things such as astrology and such...I was wondering if some of your art was influenced by that theory?

Thanks for the interesting comment! I really happy this work made you think, it's great! In this work I used symbolism as always. The color is a very important thing in my works, it have a sense. You are right about a crop, It is a good metaphor!
I like what you have written about the theory of ancient astronauts , I call these creatures from other worlds/planets the Unnamed nation and of course I believe it. In my opinion "travelers" have created human race and First people got knowledges about a universe and all things/laws on our planet. They was more smart than modern people but they had absolutely other bodies because they were like Creator.

I love the chaiot and beast of burden combo. The whole thing reminds me of the myth of Hyperion and other sun god myths. Beautiful!

Thanks a lot! The chariot is a very important detail there. I didn't read the myth of Hyperion, I think it's very interesting story

What is you favorite personage from myths? I like Medusa
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am fond of the Medusa myth as well, but my favorite one is the Persephone and Hades myth. I always enjoy myths that are meant to explain how and why thing happen.

Awesome, reminds me of the beginning of the Egyptians times, when they started to evolve the wrong way...taking control. Some were still awaken but many became unconscious quickly. I Like the being thats heading towards the sun. nice use of colors as always.

Thank you! the creatures on this picture more ancient than Egyptians, they are creatures who made our planet and they gave all the languages to people.
I love the Egyptian culture so much
