I will add a detailed description later including my inspiration and techniques used in this painting as well as explain the symbolism. One aspect of the symbolism is how the body and everything below the surface is more abstract to show the distortion of what’s in our minds compared to the outer reality (above the surface).
This work of art 20 x 28 inches is now for sale on Etsy. www.http://shellrose.etsy.com
