Now this is a good picture. Basically it could be taken as a symbolist painting, with the impossibleness of the situation and with the hint's towards BΓΆcklin.
On the other hand, thanks to contemporary landscape artists, the Christos especially, the situation is hardly surreal anymore. City blocks have been wrapped in linen, and people wearing white clothing that covers them whole is nothing extraordinary to us, thanks to a well publicised Middle East. Thus you have painted a realist symbolist work.
A favourite definetly!

Agree in all points... Although Christos and Middle East were the last things that may have passed my mind when I painted it...
Thanks... Much appreciated comment!!!

Hello Sir,
I donΒ΄t want to write much about the motive and composition of this piece as thereΒ΄s nothing one could add to sbaraciΒ΄s comment. However two little (if not tiny) details caught my eye. The first was the rock underneath the houses. For me they look so organic, almost like a figure bent over, with the fundament of the houses on its back. The second was this tiny white spot in the far background. It simply makes me wonder what might be there the other side of the water. And as itΒ΄s white and bright like the figure in the front it draws a mystical line between the fore and background. These are two little details that make this painting special for me.
I just thought I might share my thoughts with you.
Good night
Felix

I'm speechless. This is just beautiful. We all hide the darkness within ourselves and hope that noone finds it, because if they do we will be seen/viewed very differently. Amazing work.
