Conceptual painting raising questions about mankind's risky behaviour (environmental care and impact)

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-01-02

Have we lost our way? by ~colossusnz presents a marvelous concept, all the more deeply revelational in the solidness of execution, a determined note rising from the tightly locked spirals of cause and consequence. (Suggested by `TerrorCookie and Featured by ^snowmask)

i think it's beautiful, both in its concept and its execution. i love your use of colour in this, particularly behind the animals inside the wheel and the person outside it. very nicely done, and congrats on a well-deserved daily deviation!

This really makes you think about what you're doing while the world keeps going round. I can really connect with your painting.
The composition is really good too, it is very balanced yet not static, much like our mother Earth.
I'm also really fond of your technique, it's slightly gritty and dark, you used earthy colours. There's not so much detail, but it isn't needed and it only adds to the slightly gritty look.

A well deserved Daily Deviation and this needs to be favourited as well. Congrats and keep it up! =)

Awesome message. The theme in this picture is really profound =D The symbolism in a circle is also infinitely profound in its representation of eternity. To me, this picture seems to show that since man is on the outside, he is not only barred from nature, but he also seems to "control" its fate since he can move the circle to his will (meaning that he can decide the destruction of nature). I'm probably over-analyzing, but it just shows how deep this picture really is!

Great job!

Interesting symbol ,... Beautifull concept looks like your inner artist recieved a message from a far.

Yes it is a clear descrition that humans have disconnected themself from the rest of nature and the four elements of the known planet and poluted them, water, earth, fire, and wind, as well has dammaged the four seasons as well.
then the human figure walks to the top, or crawls to the top on the outside4 thing that its ruler of all..
I love it
:hug:
:heart":
Excellent visual message for the people of this planet.. :-)
