Underneath (Fantasy) digital artwork by David Forslund
 
Artist's Comment
Even a dark room is filled with memories, and no matter what its voice will say when you stumble around in uncertainty, things may, when light has finally flooded it, turn out to be the complete opposite.

Yes, we all have that feature; to hide and shove away our most macabre sides. To retreat from their unpleasant presence we both persuade ourselves of, and express the opposite of what’s real and we do it so convincingly that we even scare the ones surrounding us.

There was always something wrong, something strange, unfinished in the periphery of the personality. All the time it made itself reminded, but the naivety only interpreted it as unpleasantness; undefined disgust. There was always depth, but it was never searched for.

And so it suddenly stood there before me, the figure. Cloaked, hooded, clouded, looking at me. Ever has it been by my side, always separated from the way of life, for it has distanced itself from it’s own being to survive in the world where it thinks it’s living, but it is only now, finally, that I see it.

Very melancholy. The melding of the robe into the clouds gives it a distinctly mythological feel for me. The color tones and shading are wonderful. Lovely image.

It's such a beautiful awakening indeed, escaping the mundane world is an honorable achievement and it brings many serendipitis events within your consciousness. This is beautiful. I love when words are added to images it really shows how significant the each little piece of the compostion is to and allows my creativity to errupt spontaneously. Thanks can't wait to get a pencil in my hand!

This is like Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" meets the Grim Reaper.....I absolutely love it!
