Imago


Imago

I had this picture a long time in my mind, but there was an aspect in it, I changed a lot of times. It was difficult to find the right form of it. One morning I knew how to do it, but even then it needed some more months to actually paint it. In between the layers it looked terrible, I hated the colours. Much more intense it was. Fortunately I knew that with some more layers it would be alright. Phhh. Now it´s ready and done and I like it. Especially in the evening and at night it´s very telling. I don´t know why, maybe it likes the darkness ...
