-Description-

Perdition is a painting of depression and how you feel when depressed.
The Character on the bottom and the mask he is carrying are both the same person though separated because the character on his knee is the flesh part of humans and the inner is the mask. While in state of depression your own mind can be the most hateful thing because when depressed you can do actions you would never do. That is why the mask is with a grin. Depression is bad because nobody has is causing you harm but your own self. Our minds are sometimes the harshest enemy. Another trait of depression is when your depressed you feel that people around you family or others in your life talk about you in a bad way, and it is usually not true. The representation of that is the character on the middle of this work. As you see the character that is also laughing at something and point is not actually pointing at the character in the lower right corner but something we can not see. The mask on the back of the character on the lower left also represents the weight of everyday life. We have all had days that it is hard to wake up and do what is necessary for life, the pain of waking up is sometimes the hardest part of everyday life the fact of getting up is a direct conformation to the day that will come by getting up you prove you can go on everyday. Does in this case it seems he has just fallen down… with the character with a frown for sadness… The light on the mask means there is still hope. (just like my other paintings) The road that the character on the lower right is rough and dark… Does he decide to continue? Or does he decide to stay down? That is the question we should all make in our own minds each morning

Ah a painting with a moral

-Description of my art works-

This is a vague description of what I attempt to do with my works. My works deal with psychological problems and how I and other feel when these problems hit. My art works currently are painted in drama form. In the way that all the character or actors are placed straight the view in sort of Opera. I am attempting to bring something different into surrealism and that is more in-depth feelings inside of me and others. Masks are a great way to show emotion, and has been used in plays in the past. So In a way I am combining many elements into my works from some ideas of renaissance style to mural paintings and some traits of plays. I have not reached my goal and this is a life time project.

Thanks for seeing my work

Here are three close up pictures of my painting.

I agree with both the work and the concept... WONDERFUL. Usually i can think of some small thing that i can constructively comment, but in your case i find NONE. PERFECT excution of a style i always wanted to learn but never had the time.

You never fail to impress me. The thing I love about this is the fact that there is reason for it and emotion behind it. I love the way he's slaving away at carrying the mask and the sky is awesome. I love this, and that's why it's going into my list.

I really like how the mask he's carrying is looking down on him, making him feel that much smaller...

Thanks to your description, I appreciate your work much more than if I had just seen it. Your paintings make me feel like an oil paint retard, lol... you are too good at it. I try to base my drawings on happiness, to avoid anything depressing in my life, but you can still see my depressed side seep through. I think this painting is absolutely wonderful, you are obviously a very intelligent individual. Thank you for adding some substance to this community.

it's a shame there's no "Love Deviation" option under vote. another excellent work from you. your perception of the human condition of depression is spot-on. the thought provoking emotion makes this an instant classic.

filmosity [2002-10-03 04:45:50 +0000 UTC]

you are quickly becoming one of my favorite artists here. I love this one too. The darkness, the laughing and smiling masks....crazy.

For me, this is not depression. This represents my childhood. i was constantly harrassed and made fun of in shcool, and the masks are really how I saw the bullies. The swirling clouds in the dark sky was my mind.

I swear, you have to stop jacking into my dreams. It's starting to freak me out.

NICE. Excellent work on the clouds in the background and the whole piece is reminiscent of Nightmare Before Christmas; only with a much different subject.
