Description
Too close beneath this netting of flesh lies a world of horror.Isn't it funny how a meaning is born from something meaningless? Things defined aestheically birth metaphoric representation. Everyone we meet breaks off a little more of us. After time are we no more than plastic draping the remnants of the fading of what we were before life really had a chance to eat us? Our flesh torn from the plastic husk that life leaves in it's wake? Why do we refuse to stare with horror and regret at the sad things that hang there tiredly? Why do we turn away?
I made this inspired by Silent Hill 3. The composition is supposed to reflect that the Otherworld lies so closely beneath the worldly Silent Hill. Now that it's done it means something else to me. "mannequin II" is dedicated to my number one fan and inspiration . . . you know who you are.
As always, I hope you all enjoy. Your thoughts are always appreciated.

after hours of wandering in an abandoned building filled by cellophane and arabesque shadows. neglected offices no populated by a various nightmare. a single room in the middle where the canvas frames and mannequin pieces are kept. nothing useful. but as you turn to leave a scream and splash and you remember that mannequin forever.

They way you portrait SH makes it look like you're one of the art directors for the game. It's insane how resemble your style is together with real official SH art. I love how her skirt is all red and gloomy, yet her upper body seems even more depressed <3

Harsh yet charming, disgust opposed to beauty, once pure - now filthy, but which side is which? it lies in the eye of the beholder.
Very powerful painting. I like very high contrast between two worlds. It`s like two pieces of torn canvas - you can see that first there were two paintings but none of them were finished. After combining them, the painting was finally complete. On the other hand you just can`t say which one was first. You can see a shape of a female that changes into gory flesh, but maybe it`s a rusty and dirty world turning into its whitewashed version? The question is "why am I thinking about two worlds"? It`s just one world, composed of many layers (we just don`t want to see them)... hm but maybe 
What we see is only one thing, we should remember that there is always at least one more layer. Literally speaking - a beautiful female is also a pile of flesh 
This work definitely goes to my faves.

Thank you for the 
"A beautiful female is also a pile of flesh" Heh... an interesting and somewhat mordid simplification. Perhaps it's the layers you speak of that makes people out of dolls?

wow...this IS silent hill 3. eerieness into panic, that's the vibe I got from the game and I think you nailed it here too. my favorite theme was the melancholy(and suffocating darkness...those apartments made me claustrophobic) of SH2, but SH3 is a close second. it looks like you're feelin Silent Hill too! first painting on DA that made me feel like I needed to wash my hands

I know it, i guess i cannot express myself on paper (writing, photo or other kind of expression) when i'm happy. when we are disturbed, torned between decline and chaos, we "have to" create in order to exhale our thoughts. And, indeed, when I am happy and enjoying life, I don't think about creations... but trying to take the best of my situation. I understand you, and I like it
Thank you too for sharing this kind of creation with us.
