As soon as I laid eyes on this image, I thought of someone I used to know. The dark figure standing there among the flames is such a powerful site. I know there are millions of people on this planet and I'm sure the figure is someone who I don't know, but it strangely resembles my mom's shadow. She was killed many years ago and the image instantly made me think of her.


But back to the painting, I love the colors very much. The dark does very well surrounding the figure. And the red orange tones give it a warm comforting feeling. It's amazing the way her dress morphs into the darkness surrounding her. It almost feels like she is a tree sprouting from the earth. This image is so incredible. Your an amazing artist. I wonder what things have gone through your mind to make you create this... I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future...
