Forewarning: this critique is provided by a lay-man with a limited amount of experience (and virtually no hands on training or engineering substantiation) towards electronic painting. Thus the artist is informed that this critique may be slightly wary towards providing a concrete idea of its impact towards its audience.

This work reminds me, somehow, of animation movies (I can't remember exactly which ones) and the old comics from the sci-fi universe of "guardians of the galaxy" and the short-term series of Black Horse comics and Image comics. Curious, though not necessarily optimistic for most.

Primarily because in its effort to provide detail, its not exactly so interactive as it is curious - This work has rich colors juxtaposed against a starry sky and the suspicious "firethorns" - something reminiscent of the alternative universe from the futurism portrayed in the comics released in the hey day 90s era of Marvel's "alter-hero" movement (which is different from the "anti-hero" movement - here referring to the sci-fi heroes of the day).

This work's manipulation of circles and patterns also makes it a flamboyance of a curious sort. The recurrence gives it a new image everytime - and particularly so, because it could also be something from our own Earth and not something from outer space - and perhaps taken to a macrocosmic proportion which, thus, could implicate that it is not - exactly - an alien from outer space (hence the "alter-hero" culture; maybe some radiation from some part of earth hit some part of some place somewhere where something went wrong somehow.... somewhat bizarre, but comical (sic)).

Thus, is my review of this work. Keeping in mind the forewarning, the artist (and possible viewers) must proceed with this work with caution.
