Mimesis

Fantastic:)

Love this image and am facinated by the story. I have always been drawn to beauty and find the human form as depicted in your artwork as so inspiring. These figures look majestic and humble. Unfortunately modern society has in my opinion mis represented female beauty as you have so beautifully represented. I think the way media has materialised the aesthetically beautiful female has alienated the empowerment that most of us feel through viewing such beautiful examples of human aesthetic perfection. As a male who is very drawn to beautiful women I also find the male sculptures in this image to be very uplifting to me.

Very well done… wonderful epic!

Congratulations on making it to the top ten in the Romanticism competition. Your skill is readily apparent here. I like both the art and the background.

Love this. Very creative.

CCOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re so creative, very impressive!

fascinating art and fantastic concept ~ really enjoyed your commentary ~ i love the architecture and art as well as the history of Greece & Italy ~ your work is wonderful!

you know i just had to look up the word Mimesis :)) and i found imitation, mimicry ~ what i find fascinating about your Title is the fact that there is a woman on the foreground and male statues in the background ~ perhaps signifying power? your comparison between modern contemporary beauty and ancient ideas of beauty. Personally i find the statues more beautiful, but that’s probably because i’m a girl :))

Excellent Van. I love this artwork of yours especially.

Stunning work. Very interesting description! You are so creative!

After reading your fascinating commentary and all the wonderful messages here as well Van, I must say I am absolutely dazzled and inspired by your level of talent. Your paintings are so realistic it is amazing! And I love the mystic symbolism. This is very beautiful!! The woman is very beautiful! And the bronze statues standing on the precipice are exquisite!! I have been studying this for long moments! It was quite a long time until I could think of a thing to say at last as it leaves me quite speechless!!

Great piece! I noticed the greek statues have gained some musclepower over the years hehe!

Thanks Van Cordle! By the way, I have to find a way to add you to my watchlist… doesn’t see the button anymore…

ps, are you, like myself, fond of Salvador Dali’s paintings also?

truly a talented artist. :-}

You are a very talented artist and I hope you are rewarded for such.
Cheers neil
