It's one of my last paintings and i can see a change in all my themes and purpouses.. even human figure is appearing, mortified by the self act of painting.. dunno not really sure about this piece and whole new way im getting in.. any feedback?

i like it a lot. human touch is always nice and it's a little subdued here making it more an abstract expressionistesque work.

maybe you are on the edges of what you know about yourself.... scary but more in touch with a space that is truely you, no interference, no dilution, no illusions. Not that sounds like a disconcerting but amazing place to create from!!

Me gusta mucho el giro estilístico que has tomado.
Si no lo has hecho ya, mírate el film "El misterio de Picasso".

Not sure about the red outlines and the eye. I think I would have left them off and let the shapes tell the story. I think you are on to something here. It feels like a transitional piece and hence the "victory pose" of the figure. Keep at it.

i think i found an edge, thats true but not sure if it has no interference if it's really me since no painter could have a solipsistic point of view for painting has a clear history. I could't get the point of no illusions :)

thanks for the comment,

Espero que me lleve a algun sitio, sobretodo a poder pintar con tranquilidad.. Por cierto, no, no sabia de la existencia de esa pelicula y despues de leer sobre ella espero que la mula se de prisa en traerla, a ver que tal.

Gracias por la recomendacion y por el comentario.

Hey, im not sure about red lines either.. with eye i could say i like to see human eyes as fish eyes, for the tragic sense of the figure and desperation, for me, leads human to primitive forms of life.. like fish, fish is a great symbol for me.. and connecting with the victory pose i found your comment curious because i see it a lot more tragic, like the figure is in pain, wrathing, suffering on the act of fighting, so maybe its my lecture of it but i can see no victory on it mayve its just a personal scheme.. :)

i like if you can see either victory or failure in tragic cauz its the real sense for me, that mix its just i can just see failure.. or suffering, and the figure is tortured, mortified by that..

Im not sure about red lines i thought of getting them black again as they used to be but keeps giving it a tragic nor a kinetic sense..dunno

thank you for that comment and for other comments i really appreciate them
