This image is striking for a number of reasons. First, the foundation of the piece, the draughtsmanship, is so strong and clear. The rendering of the facial features is strong and well-defined giving this image a realistic center. The piece builds an energetic nimbus with the much looser but just as deliberate strokes suggesting neck, shoulders and hair. The controlled chaos of those strokes is offset by the small vingettes and pattern repetitions appearing throughout the image; the combination of these elements allows the image to blend into a more fantastic realm (spiritual, psychological or fantasy). The color is wonderfully muted, possibly due to the unconventional nature of the artist's pigment delivery. The artist skillfully keeps his palette from becoming muddy and unclear; this serves the piece more than a higher-value palette would forthis image.

The chaos around the person's head gives me a sense of what this individual has or is going through. In the eyes there is sadness but still the head is held up high as if a fight was put up but it's time to call it quits. Lines and markings on the face remind me of an old map and there are plants in the background above and below the head. The colors i think symbolize Earth and Water. Looking at this piece I feel anger and Sadness, making me wish I could help in some way. Very Beautiful Piece.

I can never get over how much I love your style. It's got a watercolor sort of look but then the clean lines and details set it apart. Keep uploading, I love you're stuff.Β
