Backdoor Into Luxurianceby `zancan

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

Oil paint on canvas - 80x120 cm.
Bizarrely, that word .. Luxuriance... had been running in my head for days like an intriguing leitmotiv, and painting it out seemed the most natural and only way to shut the voice.
_{Here is a painting I finished in january after 3 months of daily efforts. I've forced myself to paint everyday, despite the usual overwork at 2Roqs.
For once this painting isn't about a deep worry I may have had, it is more simple in the meaning. Instead, I've explored domains quite new to me: for instance, I've plunged almost the whole painting into penumbra to allow a brighter light to fall down on the hand.
I worked out the movement and the body language. The weird cropping of the girl should produce a disequilibrium that contradicts her course. On her face, I tried to display an expression of joyful surprise mixed with a bit of worry.}
Close-ups can be seen at zancan.fr.

I hope you like green!

another zancan masterpiece

and as always he has delivered one worth a lot of words ...

first ... Beautiful brush work

second ... Pretty colours

third (and sorry to sound shallow but) dude he makes the best feminine figures for miles around... trez belle!

and may I say that he is one capable of truly invoking emotion in a beholder... the sheer freedom and vibrance of this painting speaks volumes of the simple thought of freedom and is In my opinion truly one of the best representations I have seen of the concept of unbound, extravagant, luxuriant freedom which is otherwise only to be felt and a really hard concept to explain

What do you think?

Great sense on the layout and the choice of content. I also envy you for your skills that can establish such illusional atmosphere. I would love to go and see the real thing on a gallery if you ever hold one!

Wow!!! amazing job. I really like the colors and lightning on this painting. I'm till working on my oil paint on canvas and will do 1 or 2 paintings a week just to master some techniques and I'll do my own thing (finally). Keep up the great job and thanks for the inspiration!
