Artist's Comments

I did this last year in a very unusual way (for me)
I started without any idea with an abstract background and then laid the piece "to rest" for a few days. Then I looked at it and started painting, what came into my mind (and what I thought would fit to the background).

acrylics with brushes on handmade paper in about 7 hours (ha - a "quickie" for me! ;) )

I love all your work SO much..i could just stare at each painting you do for hours @_@

When you paint, do you draw out an outline first? Or do you just paint randomly? You have amazing talent with a brush. Im always excited to see new stuff by you.

Some of your things remind me of Gerald Brom's work [link] ..he's my favorite artist.^__^

You see dreams dissolving
Distant voices slipping away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside of me

Very reminiscient of the Heavy Metal comics, as well as the Conan graphic novels. The horridness of the tree itself (some sort of carnivorous plant life? Or demonic entity?) is complimented heavily by the acrid yellow hue of the air. I imagine it to be akin to a terrible bogg or swamp.

I love the details! The tree is very intriguing and mysterious, with all those skeletons.

Fits very well as a whole composition, so I think your interesting method worked, hehe. Nice how the bones seem to fuse with the plant and all :D
