RE: "Isle of the Death" after Böcklin - acrylic on paper

in #art7 years ago

I love it! It's dark and gloomy as its name claims, but there is the light deep down, the always-shining light of life and existence in an other dimension, beyond flesh and bones.
Great work once again!

Thank you Ruth! I was about to call it "The island of Rebirth" but then I found it would be too cheesy...

No there is so much more hidden meaning in the "Isle of Death", it's as if you imply that after the darkness of non-physical existence the light of the soul, our spirit, still lives. The yellow light gives a warm and optimistic feeling. I like it that way :)
