Artist's Comments
So you caught me in this reverie,
There at home where I could stay for hours. You thought I was trapped from within. I won't blame you, if you couldn't notice That my aloneness was filled Richer than all the madnesses and frenzies You all live in. The austere discomfort I am coiled in Beneath that hole on the ceiling Is a whole universe of fancies And the sweetest haven for heart and soul. ------------------------------------------------- Oil painting on canvas - 120x80 cm (47.3x31.5 inch) March 2005 Making-of steps here. Related scrap here. (I do live in a small appartment) Commentslooks like an artists heaven. If this was a print, it'd be on my wishlist..

The colors are very well chosen, they appear magical, which (I think) is done on purpose. The warmth they express is really saying that it's "Home". And it's such a great concept.
Oh and the anatomy is just so perfect! And the shadows on the shirt are just.. Amazingly done. Also the expression of the man is so interesting.. It's so wonderful that this entire painting has so much little secrets and mysteries to keep you looking for quite a while. It never gets boring.
The perspective is great and doesn't seem weird at all. The placement of everything in the room seems to be right, like it just came from a picture.
The light from the roof just gives it more atmosphere.. Which it already had from the colors and feelings. It's just so beyond this world, which is the whole subject.
The unfinished painting on the floor is so nice, it's almost that it gives more sadness to it, more hopelessness.. But the fairies make it right, they seem to make the whole thing a lot happier. They look so pretty and relaxed that you can't help to get a warm and comfortable feeling from these little creatures.
Even though I know my words won't do justice, and there are a lot of things left unsaid, you'll understand my enthousiasm about this piece. Just looking at it makes me dream away, and it's also really inspiring. Great, amazing, wonderful work.
