Description The full title is The last day of Man (a late awakening)

Painted from a sketch made last october while getting sick again. As you can see, probably the darkest and the most abstract work I've ever made, but I guess the peace of winter helped me to temper the mood. Hope you'll like it though.

Man, this is brilliant. I love the bleak, forlorn atmosphere and the predominantly abstract, yet still very suggestive and intimating technique.
Your painting always rock and this one is no exception.
Perfect.

First, let me say that I love the fact that this is so very close to black and white.. somehow it seems that color would muddy the 'feel' of it.. not so much the abstractness of it, but the clarity of the abstraction, if that makes sense...

I find it captivating.. there are so many translations I want to give it.. the hints of a cityscape in the background ( our complex rise of civilization ) .. what seems almost a combination of a junkyard pile and volcano to the right.. ..the figure seems almost Eastern/religious .. symbolic of our spiritual wars, both internal and external.. in ourselves and with others.. I find I'm able to visual a gas mask, which fits well with the overall view of mass destruction, ruin.. as if the toxicity of things is more than a mere cirucmstance.. .. ah but I digress..

Excellent as always.. and certainly worth reflection..

The technique may be abstract, but the emotion behind it is very tangible. Wonderful work, my friend

très beau. et pas si abstrait
c'est flouement figuré mais ce l'est.
enfin, je vois une silhouette de gothique avec la mine basse au manteau de fourrure avec encollure en vison blanc
sur fond de collines avec sapin blanc et-ou ville avec nuages et-ou pollution

Monochrome apocalyptic devastation with the angel of death observing his work. I love this, one can imagine all sorts of things with this painting.

It's gorgeous--I've always loved this style of dark, abstract painting. It's amazing you can accomplish such complex textures on a computer.

.

certainly unusual work from you



the rough sketchy lines, and the
lovely black and white scale give
the painting an eerie touch

simply beautiful

I see an angel standing in a snow filled and ashen pathway leading down hills into a burned city...

beautiful. It is dark and perhaps sort of sad.. but at the same time, I am somehow able to find peace in this.

Tes peintures digitales sont de plus en plus réussies au plan de la texture j'ai presque envie de toucher mon écran pour sentir le relief.

Malgré l'abstraction, j'y vois beaucoup de choses, beaucoup de refoulements ( ), et sans doute une partie de ce qui a causé ton éffondrement spirituel. Oui, je crois comprendre mieux.
