Don't look back
If I do, I get crazy. Later, when I am a grown-up, I’ll write my memoires. But now I have to go on.

Wonderful montage of images.especially in black and white adds to it immensly

You’re not crazy – it’s the rest of the world that is LOL!!! And you’re right – don’t look back – don’t drag those childhood demons with you – madvlad sums it up beautifully.
I love this Martin – i think it’s the best so far – ok i love black and white (and this is great b&w) but its those madness of those childhood images thrown around – there are those carousel horses popping up.
What shines out most though Martin is that you are there – present day – strong and bright – looking away from the madness. There is more light than dark. xxx

Amazing strong composition, very sober and very appealing.

Most of us give to much thought to the past worry about the future and forget to live and enjoy the present-wonderful composition Martin.
Jeff Burns
Wonderfully done this is fantastic
shanghaiwu
this is wonderful
I think creating about one’s experiences is pure therapy. I know/ I do it all the time/
strange how to explain but promise this is brilliant work

Might be an idea to keep a record, Martin, if you plan to write memoirs. There’s already plenty to tell. I like accepting that the past cannot be altered and going through the scraps that represent the good times. (I need Kris Kristofersson, singing in the background now: For the Good Times!

Beautiful work and the b&w effect goes very well with the title
- in my opinion, the past and future looks in b&w ….only the present is colourful :) ......love your work FLY BOY !!!:-)Rany Lutz
Hey, this is a great idea! Well done.
madvlad
we are creatures of habit, and need reprograming constantly , we have to fight the past other then the good healthy things that passed in our lives or we endlessly want some mess removed from our memory, so be it the moment is where life is really living always but then we stop look back and trip over yesterday dam! so yes no looking back amen hope all in your world is bearable
madvlad

Helene Kippert
Martin this is awesome – moody and powerful – brilliant!
mare
I am impressed by the sense of foward movement conveyed by the you (the figure) and by the montage of childlike chaos you are leaving behind. Looks like it was a necessary process
Martin Derksema
Thanks a lot, Helene and Mare for your heart-warming comments.

You are not alone. That’s why we have artists and poets. We have to satisfy with the present.
“Here with a loaf of bread beneath the tree,
A cup of wine, a book of verse – and a good girl beside me singing in the wilderness –
And wilderness is Paradise enough.”
maka1967
A series of genuineness and talent. Great work. Beautiful, touching and inspiring. What else do we want from art?

This leaves so much to the imagination; and the placement of the young man (maybe you?)exiting the room is perfect; however I sincerely hope that he does in fact look back, for those moments in time are forever gone…...there is so much to see here, as if you are really looking into his memories….....the tones, the lighting and the subject matter are all perfect. Excellent work on this piece!
Rosina Lamberti
wow…..this an amazing piece….absolutely fantastic!
