Description
Yesod loves his backers: www.patreon.com/angelarium----
Foundation. The bedrock beneath existence. The fertile soil, impregnated by moonlight.
Light dances atop the earth. Where it touches, cinder-soft turf is upturned and exposes this planet to the Sephirot. At midnight a precious conversation takes place between Malkuth and Yesod under the gaze of a hooded moon and we are the words. Our story continues to scrawl itself across the world, forever.
-a creation myth

Your art remind me of Zdzisław Beksiński (๑• . •๑)

-subject matter is different
-colors throughout the series are different
-faces are less distorted in Pete's work
-compositions are different
-spheres emanating forth from large figures is a common theme in surrealist art, and does not belong solely to Beksinski.
You don't have a strong case to begin with in saying that the style is completely lifted, but also consider these ideas. Art is an iterative process, for the artist himself and for the culture of humanity. Ever hear Pablo Picasso's famous words, 'Good artists copy, great artists steal'? Complete originality has far less impact and resonance than work that draws from what we are familiar with as a human culture. Pete's style adaptations are a beautiful tribute to Beksinski and what Pete is doing keeps Beksinski's achievements in painting relevant and alive in modern art. It's a true complement to the original whenever influence is used for a new purpose.
I'm surprised that you can feel this way about a symbolic painting and still appreciate surrealism. Surrealism is innately symbolic, and symbols come from cultural understanding. The thing that makes symbols work and resonate is a shared cultural understanding. How can you be so protective of symbols when spreading them intensifies their impact?

After reading this I went and had a look at Zdzislaw's works. While I definitely see some similarities, I see far more differences. Zdzislaw's work is far more dreary and depressing, morbid and grotesque almost. His works look twisted and disfigured and for me at least give off very different feelings than Pete's work. The style isn't even really the same. Much of Zdzislaw's work was extremely detailed and intricate with hundreds of different tiny individual parts, while Pete's seems much more focused on the shape and figure of these entities, which right off the bat breaks your theory that he's coasting off of someone else's imagination and work. I mean, really. I have a gallery of both artists up on my monitors now and as I look back and forth I'm not seeing anything that is strikingly similar. In fact the more I look the greater the differences become. I honestly wouldn't be totally surprised if Pete's work wasn't inspired by Zdzislaw's at all. I would love if you actually provided some examples of Pete's work compared to Zdzislaw's and pointed out how they are so similar that one must have stolen the other's work, because I'm not seeing it at all. The most similar out of all of Pete and Zdzislaw's work that I could find is the picture we're commenting on now by Pete, and this > www.gnosis.art.pl/iluminatorni… < picture here by Zdzislaw. There are some obvious similarities here. One thing to note is that the picture we're commenting on is titles "Yesod", which is an entity in Kabbalah, and Zdzislaw's picture seems to be the Holy Spirit from Christianity. The point here is that Yesod from Kabbalah and the Holy Spirit from Christianity are essentially the same thing, they mirror each other.
I wouldn't be surprised if this picture was inspired by Zdzislaw's picture, there are obvious similarities. But in no way do I see it as theft. There are even more differences than similarities. The colors and tones, and the way each artist envisioned this entity itself is entirely unique; if you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention the differences go beyond that. At most this was inspired by the other, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, obviously.
To be frank, I'm saying you're full of shit. Anyone in their right mind would be able to easily notice that this isn't theft, and that at most Pete is inspired by some of Zdzislaw's pieces. What's actually fucked up is that you can sit here and confuse inspiration with theft and accuse him of stealing someone else's work and calling it his own while there actually are people out there straight up stealing other people's ideas and slapping their name on it. Instead you sit here and label a great artist a thief and tell them they should burn their work simply because it was inspired.

His gaze seems disturbed. It is as if carrying the world on his belly. He gave his life for his children. Wonderful!

This design really resonates with me. I have a personal fear of alien entities which have human features, yet this makes me feel calm rather than disgusted/afraid. I look at it, and I can see and feel that it is an alien entity (not an extraterrestrial, but rather something beyond our grasp and knowledge), yet it fills me with a sense of benevolence, of ancient and timeless knowledge, and of a deep, childish curiosity that is tempered with logic and wisdom. Really fantastic. I have to ask, as I see this is part of a set, is this a pantheon you created yourself or is it representations of something which already exists? I would be very interested to study more about this; that's how fantastic this piece is. It's so good that I want to learn more about where it came from. Have a nice day.

The creatures, well fallen angels he draws are taken from 'The Book of Enoch' which comes from the esoteric tradition of Kabbalah.

somekindaspy is right, they are all aspects of the divine creator/source. I think artists should be careful in bringing forth such powerful concepts to the masses. As an audience we must always be aware of the fact that messages and symbolism are constantly being communicated to us on a subconscious level whether we know their origins or not.
