Artist's Comments

thursday, 27/9/2001

Breathing becomes something like an obsession. Mimicking the dead, a grotesque habit. But I am afraid, and that is how I can fight my fears. This is the only way I know for the time being, or the only way I can think of. Would you blame me for this? I doubt it. You are not my mother who will mock me for being afraid, in her own attempt to help me, you are only – I don’t really know. You, I suppose. The ghost in the shadowed corner. An invisible friend. A visible friend; my lover?

You are the fiend.

I close my eyes, drift to an uneasy slumber. There is a road, I think. It is coming towards me and flows underneath my feet, but I have no sense of motion. It is the road that is moving, not I. When it stops, I see a shrouded figure at a distance before me. I have this vague impression that it is either me, or my grandfather. I feel a shudder course through my body as this creature passes through me, replacing me, and I wake up, unable to move or speak.

i love it. it brings out a mood that i can't really explain. i'm not a person of words. i love how the red stands out and draws the attention to the figures, wonderfully done.
chance of seeing any details?

Very intense feeling the writing and the painting transmit. Good work. If only more people would paint their dreams....
:iconblackcarrionrose:
Wow, I really like this. It's calm and serene while still strong and slighty scary. Bravo!
