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).

Dreaming, as the world under the water, and cruel and cold as the desperation in the apocalyptic vision over it...simply great. And the perspective

Eh a wonderful perspective and care for details: but especially the subject: "a blurry paradise behind the eyelids"... it makes me think the orange stain is your imagination that make you live in a world that you dislike (rusty)... yes, on the open air the rusry world that is the reality, deep there is the world you create and know and dream, a world that seems better than the real one. Imagination that keeps our mind alive and that gives us the hope to make our wishes become true. A wonderful job!
Β
think that in my mind, the sea is the metaphore of the imagination
- apparently all its mass is equal, instead on the bottom there are the sand, plants, rocks, and the animals swoimming --> from nothing, the imagination creates anything
- when you're on the surface of the sea, you can imagine what there is at the bottom, and when you see the horizion, you can wonder what's behind it --> imagination has no frontiers
- the sea coan be calm, but unexpectedly thr storm can arrive--> imagination is unpredictable
because of this too, your picture hit me

I like the perspective in this piece. Your eye is dragged from the top to the bottom very nicely. The steampunk fish and tree are nice touches... Good work

This is amazing.Β I wonder if that's how the planet will end up?Β Someday, somebody will find the rusty surface, and then dive beneath it and find this amazing world.
