The central theme of this painting is "And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."-Friedrich Nietzche

Did you draw this yourself?
Lame question I guess.You must have.
Thing is I am hardly qualified enough to express my opinions on art.But I think this has been very neatly done.I am getting a feel as if the painting is staring back at me.
So I guess you managed to keep the theme intact.Keep drawing! :)

The best part excepting the wonderful art you have crated here is, to facilitate it with a befitting quote!

Loved it.

Coo! Very interesting linkage.

mehran said...

can u interpret what nietzsche meant here?...what was that abyss? a void due to god's death or what?

Quintessence Of Illusion said...

@mehran ........i think you couldnt interprete ma painting........i havent depicted the void created due to Gods death......infact it depicts the opposite philosophy

mehran said...

@quintessence:
exactly. opposite in the sense that you have attempted to give the quality of existance to non- existance. else how can a 'void' or an 'abyss' stare back. this was my subjective interpretation....rather art is always interpreted subjectively. thanx

@mehran.............datz wot is diffrnt........i tried ta depict dat evn an abyss can stare back.....contrary to popular belief

mehran said...

@ quintessence
yes ..i got that..
nice effort. nietzsche is a personal favourite among many others, so i kind of admired this art work inspired from nietzsche.
