A thousand words worth

Description

When i get some rest, ill write a thousand words, describing this

All i can say now, is that its for an art competition

The tree symbolizes life, each tree in the whole painting, is a life
at the roots are what we make of it, what ive made of it.

The left side symbolizes:
wealth (golden fountain+coins)
power (gears of industry+ the castle),
eternity (clocks+celtic knot in tree)

The right side symbolizes the simple joys that make life worthwhile despite the hardships of the left side.
The church, an obvious reference to religion, and how it reaches for the heavens.
Love, a new theme to my art, is powerful, and for me, i am able to touch the sky directly through it.

The red dusk symbolizes Art in its purest form, whether it is literary, visual or musical.
For me Art is the purest beauty in the world

PLEASE ZOOM IN
thanks :)

take a look a this for a sense of scale, this is one huge fucker, and it took me a month of continuous work

I must admit, I'm a sucker for anything with an Alice in Wonderland feel. And this is quite Wonderland-like.

All the symbols add a lot of intrigue and room for interpretation to your piece. It overall captures a feeling of creativity and the craziness of life in general.

I have to say I love this piece although I do think the palette could have been a little brighter. I'm not sure what kind of tone you intended for this work of art but it seems rather dreary. I do think there could be a little more color to make certain aspects stand out a bit more.

But overall, the detail in the piece is well done, as well as the technique seems to be.

A great work of art, for sure.
