Artist's Comments

Maybe a bit depressive yet I find the motif very spiritual and it can also have a lot of other meanings than the one that most people get when they look at this picture. :)

Had a lot of fun experimenting with inverted painting.

Acrylics on 500g/m^2 black board. Approx 30x18 cm.

This is quite beautiful! I really love it and the way you got that light to sparkle, it is great. It's hard to get something to look like it glows when it's traditional. Very nicely done.

It's very peaceful. It's awesome that you were able to bring out so much detail on black board.

The underlying spiritual symbolism is very intriguing. I personally don't find it depressing at all.
It's beautiful!

I actually felt like the wolf was dreaming when I first looked at it, rather than its soul leaving it's body. Both work. It's lovely.

So entirely gorgeous. I adore the themes represented, and the details are all so exquisite. The monochromatic colour scheme creates a wonderful impact.
