nice on j. , love that sexy green sticking out from the backround, almost give's it a surreal vibe, the dashe's of light across the face are interesting, are you trying to look through the small gaping hole's of light, by the look's of it, u almost seem trapped....all in all lovely work j.

I love the three slashes of light, almost appears to be like some animal claws... The eyes are incredibly haunting.

Hope is the quintessential human delusion; at once the source of our greatest strength and weakness.
:icondieguito:
oh yeah also forgot to say but the eye's almost seem helpless, a glimmer of hope might spring them to light mybe.
:iconsenecal:
Ah ha! Very nice.

There is an interesting color combination happening there.
I too find it fascinating that there are limited areas of light on the figure.

you are in a dark reality. a telling portrait of the self. small shards illuminate this face, this psyche. an occult perspective, dark beauty.

the three scratches of light give the piece a interesting personality, like you were trapped in your own mind trying to break free.

I heard about a new German artist here from a friend and after following a bit of a trail, found you. He was right, you are very good. I've been through your gallery and to your web site and can say you have a picture for almost every mood I've had recently, and your self portrait is terrific. I have to do a self portrait during the next few weeks and can't think of anything to put down that wouldn't have the teacher locking me up immediately. Your's is great.
Wilder has given me some very good tips. At first I was like--who the Hell is this guy? But he is great, and just as nuts as the rest of us. That's why I love him so.
I'm glad I saw your gallery. I think I found the right one. And even if I didn't, I'm still glad I saw it!!

I like the mystery of it. The sense of light behind a facade of darkness or a light blocked by darkness, but still coming through. I like it. That duality of sorts...so I keep staring at it to see if I can figure it out.

absolutly awsome! Very creepy.
