Artist's Comments

As usual, I encourage comments and observations! What I'm most interested in is how you see this image, what it makes you feel, think, etc. (of course, if you find it interesting and worthy).
(I have a feeling that I might regret having said that.)

FAQ:
1. Why is there a shadow cast onto the wall (girl and umbrella)?
Because the frame contains a painting, not a window. Considering how the girl and the whole interior are lit, there must be a shadow cast in that area. The ocean doesn't enter the room from behind the wall, but it's coming alive from the picture.

2. Why the clouds on the wallpaper?
It's my way of suggesting the blending of the two spaces: the inside and the outside (the real world and the imaginated or summoned world).

3. Why does the wave coming from the frame looks weird/flat/isn't flowing normally?
My intention was to suggest a mix of how the water flows and how the canvas would drop over the edge of the frame (and bend under the floor edge). I worked for hours on that part and that's what I came with, I know it's not perfect, my skills are limited... If you can suggest a solution, you are welcome to.

absolutely perfect
:icon0x1:
This is such a beautiful, perfect, surreal, clear yet abstract piece. I love it! The red and blue colors work perfectly. As for what I see in the picture. I just think it's funny. I've always wanted a home on the beach, but not that close! :D Absolutely stunning, great work.

Pretty surrealistic, i love the effect and colors so contrasting into the topic and composition, i love the neat developement of this piece, give some hope ;)
:iconchepita:
i love the concept <well the thing that i understood bout the graphic :P the lonely mood like drought soul (...) . and the way you explain it on canvas...

though 3 things that bother me in the graphic... the shadow in the back picture... and those two "black clouds" in both sides
the girl shadow projected in the sea pic wake me up from the surreal enviroment of the whole composition... and those 2 clouds... doesn't feel like clouds :P that's pretty much it...
and the way water is coming from the picture... it's not driping or flowing in a normal way :P

that's my personal opinion...
Anyway I love your work! yaiiiii !!! :hug:

:lol: yes yes, the ocean is beautiful, but not when it gets in your house!
this was actually meant to be a playful image, in the sense of a twisted surrealism :)

thank you for the compliments, I appreciate :heart:
