Description I evolve in the creative emptiness of my surroundings. Inspiration gone, my mind finds reasons to create in the shelter of my autistic world. All nude in this weak oasis and my feelings as well, I'm trapped in the jail that I silently build.
-----
This is oil on canvas. I used an airbrush fed with diltuted oil paint to paint the sky (there is nothing moe dirty than doing this). I made very few sketches before painting it. At the end I don't like it that much, it looks wonky to me, the hand and thigh on the right look ugly. But there is lot of meaning behind, i just hope you'll catch it.

This painting is true art, and I hope I interpreted your comment correctly, please forgive me if I haven't. This painting depicts the absense of inspiration in the real world, so you have turned inwards. The colours seem to represent and put forward in my mind the sea of creativity, which the dead fish also enhances, is what you are trying to say is that you are stuck in the sea of creativity, but it has dried up, yet you cannot go anywhere else? Please, let me know if I am on the right track. I think this is the best work I have seen here so far, the symbolism/meaning really add to the execution of the work, I'm sad you aren't happy with it, because it is really brilliant.

Wow... is pretty much what comes to mind here. I'm not all that good at being able to discern meanings from artwork... but at times I don't even want to try. I'd rather just enjoy the product of another artists work and ideas, but with something like this I can at least tell it holds a lot of meaning even without reading the description.

The very best thing I've seen in a while. Great work. Great technique etc. ... colours.. subject.
Wonderful and excellent. The subject is touching, understandable and inspirational.
This comment will most probably go unread, but I still feel the need to say how much I like this.

why unread? DA is the only place I found with that much feedback on my work. This is a place where I can share, get views and thousands of reasons to keep it up. A comment like yours is one of those reasons. Thank you, and you should not be that much negative about yourself!

lucidprimate [2005-08-02 03:09:33 +0000 UTC]

this painting (several of yours in fact) reminds me of dali...
only slightly does this lay in the subject matter. you're more concrete (the fairies painting rocks).
but the color choice and the styling of the background and figure are very similar.
very nice.
