Description
Dusk's falling on my decadent reality. My everyday landscape keeps drowning, I'm a microscopic orange stain in a rusty universe. I hope you'll come tonight... Surprising thread of my thoughts, my guide and lover, let me cross again the dark frontier of my fantasies! So close but uncertain to reach, this blurry paradise hides behind my eyelids.Release me... and I'll fade like a drop in the infinite ocean of a dream.

'Below the Rust' is actually my biggest painting (it is 1.2 x 0.8 meters wide), and the one I have spent the longest time on. Five months, doing an average half-time work. The fact is that I can't help myself doing those small details that nobody can see. Using a 1-hair brush on a canvas that wide is totally insane!
This is only oil paint on canvas, but before starting to paint I made many sketches, and even a colorized version with photoshop (to set up the right colors).

If the dream is yours, then It'll be hard to "fade away" in it, since eversince you we're born, you've seen the world etc. from your own eyes and in dreams there are many references to real life, and combinations with things from real life but never something you've never seen before - like a new colour.
Try imagining a new colour, I would say it might actually be impossible. Hence, in dreams, to fade away ones self is very hard, as you've never seen differently. To you, you always existed, and when you dream, you are always present. Either as a "invisiblethirdperson-camera", a actual character or a scenery.
Even though the other characters of the dream may not notice you, you are there...
Then again, I notice that there's no AWAY in the sentence, so my complete argument is invalid
Nevermind that, I'm just speaking my mind I guess...
I'd like to have a dream like that anyway... It might be hard... be perchance, I can rule out my own existince in a dream.
Maybe that's what those dreamless nights are about! - hmm... food for thought!

Wow, you painted this, you are my hero, this is incredible, and even though I might not see every detail, I can feel all the time put in to this painting, and appreciate it even more

I love how you point out your OCD for detail, i also do this, but it always turns out bad for me since i just do sketches and my detail is making one hair be in the right spot. But i personally find this the best Deviation i've seen so far, and would love to see more of your art!

This is amazing! Surrealism at its best. Although I was never a fan of this kind of art, no one can deny that it is one of the best works from this cultural movement. It is one of the best visual artworks, I have seen! And I teach Art! So kudos to our great artist! Well done!

Beautiful work! I do believe M.C. Escher would be duly impressed.
I like your poetic paragraph about it too. Interesting concept. Is the speaker desiring not so much recognition, but a world of beauty rather than of ugliness to be lost in?
