I like the way U envisioned joints of a verity of shapes that intersect together collecting onto each other and thus grasping onto more intimidating proportions & as fading into the other. All of your work in a way seems to follow this method (as far as I’ve seen) but the destination & journey in the pattern wave all come out differently. The colors & shapes within the patterns are replicated "individually", by which i mean, the turn-out of each angle brushes differently because of the interior or role given to fulfill, though the idea might have been the same plenty of times.
Your piece is so abstract, surreal and colorful (in expression i can relate with understanding) but i can make out different assumptions embedded deep in your "bringing to life". The given name isn’t exact as intended but with the relating abstraction i am able to understand the product of your work which helps me enjoy it more. I can really see U bringing out the wild and confusion into the mounds and spheres expressing carnivalism.
i cant help but say that the background seems to have made it all the more appealing. The setting looks darkened with fun, distraction, secrets & random humor, but the back ground looks to me that it says otherwise: still between the cracks & nooks i see an aflamed color, like fire colliding with midnight. As the hot softened color grows enchanting, a sortta sunlight-captured dusk arises from its stream and fades into the void. How unusual that the unusuality & unconsciousness of the occasion competes against the dozing cessation of the Aurora borealis represented, as if rumored into 1 body.
This piece is very well related to your style but I wouldn’t say it weren’t original because you use the same rule over & over (as far as I’m concerned anyway). It is your own combination in the way you’ve made it & in the idea U have greatly emphasized apart from your other works. They remind me of different structures & landscapes as well as entirely different worlds at times, yet they manage to keep their own individuality, backstories, sediment feel & addressing considerately scattered apart.
In the end, I loved this piece!! The carefree and mischievous nature is alluring and festive dipped with its chaotically sly dark & firm colors. Keep it up!! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
