Artist's Comments
!!Revised!! Detail here -> [link]
When I first started making this piece I made it with the intentions of making a dedication piece to Ray Caesar; an awesome artist with a big heart and a fantastic surreal mind!
It was as heavily influence by Caesar as well as Dali and Master Renaissance artists such as Drouais, Fragonard, Boucher which I have always had an admiration for this style of work since I was a child.
After making the piece I decided to alter a few things such as the eyes and I made them black. There is always something so ghostly and inhuman about eyes that are blackened or whitened or just manipulated in some way. I started to play around with brushes and I wanted to capture movement in so I made rose petals around her head; like a head dress, which went into and/or out of the phonograph making it show sound and movement maybe and what music does to us, putting us into a trance like state and tranquility; connecting with it. Again just another reason I kept the eyes black it gave more depth to this trance like state.
Then I distorted the background with the intentions making the viewer feel like the enviroment to the piece has a hallucination effect and same with the reflection.
Changed the name because "Taurus" wasn't really the intention of this piece it was more hallucinatory, in what way it up to the viewer, but nonetheless how we sometimes perceived in sometimes a mind altered state.
