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).

Gods, the way you did the underwater city makes me want to go diving, or perhaps wish I was a mermaid so I could swim through all the nooks and crannies. What a masterful piece. Thank you.

Why am I just now seeing this, I feel as though years of my life were for naught. This is truly breath taking and imaginative. The separation that is made with the water line is what really drew me in, with the line separation what is beautiful and what is ruined. Thank you for this piece.

even though this piece has been here for years, this is the first time that i am seeing it. it is quite a striking piece. the concept is very well thought out and followed through with great detail. my favorite part would be the fish just because i have a soft spot for animals done in surrealistic fashion but overall i really like this piece, it is outstanding.
