you have some real talent in this style of work , just wondered if you only focus on this style of subject, dosnt seem like the kind of art you would see on a lot of living room walls, good work though.

    I don't paint for living rooms. I tackle many forms of subject, mainly spirtual/mystical, and abstracted pieces. Thnaks for you comments

Comment from Papa


malach, while this work certainly attracted me and has a definite impact and some appeal, it is hopelessly confusing, in my opinion. Certainly, the war in Iraq is confusing, and if that is your comment here, you did well. But that would not be clear to me without tour note.
Peace, Papa

    Thanks for the review.
Comment from The Muse Diva


Interesting mixture of elements, but feels heavy and so very lacking in balance. I know art is subjective, so please do not mind my impression. It struck me as messy and too chaotic for my tastes, but I admire the way you somehow made it all work together.:)

Comment from M.K.


I am severly impressed and intrigued. Where have you seen these things? I have seen similar things...There is a lot of feeling in this, but I feel like there is something else underlying the obvious. A greater story, perhaps...I've read one like it. Well done.

An excellent depiction of a somewhat controversial subject - you can really feel the explosive forces of war. Good composition and use of colors.

There is a lot going on in this picture and I think thats what really holds my interest, the colors are bold as is the statement I am assuming, there is a deep story it seems in this piece. Nice Job

good only. Ilike your expression though as you are obviously passionate about the war in the middle east, it tells a pretty horrible story which I guess is what you wanted.

I am very impressed with the use of symbolism in this piece, though I won't pretend to understand each part. What I do like about it is the strong use of color: the reds, orange, etc. It would be rated higher though, if it looked less like a finger painting.

The message is shattering and very prolific. For me, its heartbreaking for personal reasons, and a little too graphic. but thats personal. The subject is demanding, and colorful. And a lot of emotion and opinion comes through.
Humanity lives are costly, and the sanctity of life has escaped the times.
