This is brilliant Martin! I love the bold background which contrasts sharply with the highly coloured figures. I like the smiling flowers too, they’re sweet! Is your face there too.? After all, you’re the gardener!!! Great stuff!

Energy plus!! Who are all these people, Martin…........... I love it. I get such a sense of the 60’s and early 70’s from this. It must be the particular combination of bright colours, and the flowers. You’ve created fantastic facial expressions! I’d say you and your blender are well matched – a wonderful piece!

It does feel like God’s garden, creations of all colours, shapes, moods, emotions…I like how the flowers have smiley faces, while the people are each doing or being something different. Very cool work, I love it!

A little bit psychedelic and very intriguing! The black background really makes the color fantastic.

Maybe every face represents an aspect of me. Thanks for your generous comment!

I dunno who those people are. They popped up into my mind and they wanted out. I just love the diversity and abundance of humanity. Thanks for the generous comment.

Love the conception and brilliant execution. What today’s world needs is this broad-mindedness. It’s touching to see the grace a kind, tolerant and carefree mind gives to these figures. This life affirming effort has a great spiritual value, and by this one can find the god within. Great work.

I love this Martin. It feels so contradictory in its message and emotions. I feel like i should be disturbed by this – like a really bad nightmare – it reminds me of the puppets/mannequins that jump out at you when you are kids and frighten the life out of you – but somehow the colours balance this nightmare and it gives me hope.

Lovely work Martin, lively color gives me a feel like THE BEATLES – SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS ALBUM, ALL THE LOVELY PEOPLE, ELEANOR RIGBY etc. , but only you, probably, know the story behind each face!! very original with depth!!

Fantastic work Martin…all those amazing faces seem to glow against the black background and each of them tells us a story …....it’s refreshing and fills my heart with joy !!! :-) Thanks for sharing !!!
Martin Derksema in reply to hugo’s comment, 3 months ago

They are faces that were living a hidden existance in my head and politely asked to let them out. I did.
