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).

This reminds me of Venice, just in the essence because Venice is a drowning city, literally though, not figuratively.

You...You made all the stairs. And the railings. And the bricks. And the detail in the arches, and the roots, and the rusty fish... My only criticism is that the girl's arm looks a little unnatural, but at the same time, nothing else in the painting looks natural so I'm not sure it even matters. Wow. Amazing.

I've always loved the idea of worlds beneath the waves ... started with Rebma in Zelazny's "Amber" series ... this is great work. A captivating image.

Your obsession with small details is partially why your art is so extraordinary. You take the time and effort to do what you love, and how you love it.

Long before I knew about Deviantart and art theft in general, I found this as a sticker gel skin for my gen 1 iPod Nano at a mall kiosk, it's still on there this day (still use the old thing too lol).
I don't know what attracted me to it as a highschool freshman, but it's great to see the image as a whole and better appreciate it.

So Mr. Zancan, how does it feel to have the most popular deviation for eleven years running?
In all seriousness, though, this work is amazing. The attention to detail is impressive even for a work this large, and contrary to your belief it *is* easily seen if you have the right monitor.

Absolutely gorgeous! You have no idea what you have done with this picture. I've been suffering from a terrible case of writer's block for some time now, but this artwork has helped me to reopen the well of my creativity. So with a humble hats off I thank you dear artist.
