Description Let me tell you a story about my friend Tania.
She phoned one day inviting me for a drink in a bar, that we usually frequent.

-I need to talk to you. She said.
-Will you be there at 3 o'clock?

Of couse I was there at 3 o'clock. But, Tania was late as usual. I was tired of waiting and asked for something to drink...

She was terribly late. I decided to leave. A few steps from the bar, on my way back home, I met her. She was waving. Happy, but looking pale as usual, staring eyes. Anorexic beauty.

-Are you still there?

Sorry I was just remembering...
I assure you that this drawing has nothing to do with my friend Tania. Maybe...
Well, maybe it is related with those cocktails...

This drawing was one of my favorites when I arrived on deviantART a few years ago (I had another account before). I still love it years later...

Paula, para mim a arte é assim, algo k se acaba ou não... pode ficar por acabar e ser tão bonito como se tivesses os promenores detalhados... às vezes é assim mesmo, não nos apetece prosseguir e isso é parte do autor da obra, quem souber k tire as ilacções do facto... eu gosto das duas versões....

AUSÊNCIA

Ausência da vida?
História sentida,
Ou alegoria perdida?
O crâneo do tempo esquecido,
A ilusão, o vento sentido
Na alegoria da paixão,
Onde os cinzas e o preto
Nos abraça docemente o coração
Num sabor amargo, concreto.

Ausência de ti
De um mundo mudo que senti
No brilho do teu olhar vagueando
Entre trilhos da vida, conquistando
Ou apenas deixar-se livre e sentir
Que vale a pena ser e sorrir
Porque nem tudo o que parece morrer
Nos deixa sós enquanto morar no nosso ser.

Entre cores moribundas
Ou o neutro da vida
Das ideias com que aprofundas
As histórias na tua alma sentida
E a caveira do vento
Voa sempre por cada intento
Que conquistares no teu olhar
Ante a dança musical que se solta,
A mágica companhia onde teu ser revolta
O som no poder de ser e de amar…

I love the details and form. Excellent perspective and fine structure. The eye is gorgeously rendered. Beautiful depth and dimension. Great background as well. Clever visual touch with the skull. Dazzling composition.

Great piece, I enjoyed your gallery....the eyes as windows to empty souls.......or maybe not so empty...

I'm amazed by the detail you put in drawing the eye and those nerves - the texture of the tissue is perfect. this is such a great work! I really like it.

Hi.
Thank you very much. Means a lot to me.
I wish scanners could be more effective. At least mine seems to ruin drawings too much. Most of the texture is lost in the process of digitalization. That's why I just gave up submiting pieces into the traditional category.
I appreciate your comment very much. Thank you.

looks like some kind of hallucination -- you gotta stop smoking those mushrooms hun hahaha.... but seriously -- i love you for this, it is so twisted...

p.s. you should do a painting where there is a male and a female standing together -- that would be wicked!

joshuaswenson [2004-01-06 07:00:21 +0000 UTC]

i like it.
it sort of feels surreal.... like the deep background... basically of nothing-ness.
and the fucked w/ nature/eye thing going on in the foreground.

tastey.

Yet another gorgeous offering. The fine detail, the excellent shading. I could easily cover my walls in your works and know that both I and my living space were richer for having done so.

I think you drink too much

If i could put my imagination down on paper it would be nice, its not very often that an initial idea become a finished peice.

very nice, weird ass, work!

Paula-Rosa In reply to pdtnc [2003-12-27 23:20:06 +0000 UTC]

haha! Humm I don't need large quantities of alcohol, since my alcoholic coma at the age of 16. I almost died! How stupid I was.
Since then, I can't drink too much. I feel terribly bad.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it!

I almost don't drink now. That was a stupid idea of some adolescents during a party.
Now, I drink a Port, from time to time. Just in some specials occasions.
