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 is so fantastic. There's such backstory potential behind this and I'm so curious about it. Why is she out there? Why is that thing attached to her shoulders? Is she reaching out to that fish just to touch it? To catch it to eat it? Trying to shoo it away from eating her? What are in those storage units? Where is everyone else? Why does the tree on the left not have roots? Why is she so gaunt? Is she dead? Is that why her little sash looks like it's coming out of the Styx? What is the city below her?
Gods, I love the potential.

Hi there! I wanted to let you know, I used the title of your your work for a piece of found poetry (of sorts) composed entirely of titles of works found on dA. If youβd like to look, it is here [link] .
I really hope you donβt mind, and I provided a link to your piece in the description, as well.

your work is spectacular. Elements of it remind me of Dali or Michael Parks, but the voice and execution of the piece is distinct from either of them.

I just cant believe the detailing in this painting. Kudos to you brother. Very nice concept too. I feel very sad for her though. I'm in love with this painting. It's mind blowing. I have feature this painting too, on my blog at this [link]
Hope you'd like to take a look and maybe read a song about it.
Thank you and your gallery is simply wonderful.

This is a great painting, but her left leg doesn't look very healthy...

The funny thing is, water actually accelerates the process of rusting quite a bit...
...buuut that's irrelevant. It's a great picture, must look truly breathtaking in real life.

I really appreciate the time you took to make this and share it with all of us. You are a true artist. Not an artist fake. You see the beauty within the artwork. You take time on things that people might not notice. You take time to make sure it is done properly. I love it. Very nice work!
