Sad thing is, money has been the new god for about as long as the other(s) has/have been around. It's easier to believe in money, since it's here, it's physical, we can touch it, and bow to it while it does what we want it to.

Yeah, we can certainly say "money exists" :/

Sad but true, and it certainly speaks louder than any other vague deity we claim to follow...

Are those american dollars behind her? To me, and im being brutally honest because it has been forever since i have commented, but they take away from the image a bit for me. I know they serve as a powerful message, but in the midst of an amazing amalgimation of powerful surreal, abstract, and colorful art, they stand out as a bit tacky. I love the image, and faved it immediately, but the bills are whats stopping me from truly loving this piece. I look at it, and feel it shouldnt be there.. but, art is subjective, and my views arent necessarily right
Cheers Mario.

Some religious people are funny like having a saint protecting the money of injustice.

Oh my God.
Soooo true,people are now money-slaves ,they don't believe in anything except money and if they lost it then its the end of their life.I pity those .
This piece is one of my favourites so far

Yeah, that's sadly true. There is even a new religion that appeared few years ago about money and such... I'm researching about it but it's really frightening hehe.
Thank you.

i have learned a new appreciation of color from looking at your work. You seem to draw alot of color schemes from nature, sunsets, seas, lakes, forests. I appreciate that 'naturalness' in your images. And i have no respect for the catholic church so this fits in with my ideology as well.

Great to hear both things!

Why are you showing these images so small?
There's a lot of detail in there...
