Dont give up searching
Another photo manipulation, this one was inspired by a situation my friend was in, I decided to cheer him up with a digital present. It’s about not giving up of search for truelove/happiness. The face might be rusting away but it’s still looking, still hoping.
Currently working on an oil painting of this with brown eye colouring rather than blue for a monochromatic look.
This Piece has been nominated to be showcased in Pay It Forward
by Celia Coulter and this is what they had to say about your image:
‘Why do I love it, I guess the textures, the colours and for whatever undefinable reason that the artwork inspires a sense of wonder in me.’

Getting so close to this look..
one cananot but beleive the soul-like element oin the eyes.
The position of the eye is very expressive.
Is that a child who is looking an adult from his own size.. loking upwards..
and asking for protection, information…love…and understanding.
The rusting is adding drama..
and a symbolic presence of the unavoidable fading of soulĀ“s layers… in order to live the true Essence. of oneself.
Rosa (beautiful)
hatefueled replied
:D thank you so much! Its one of the reasons I create art to hear people understanding on some level rather than just viewing things on a simple aesthetic level. :D
ZayZay101

hatefueled replied

RosaCobos
