We live between the act of awakening and the act of surrender. Each morning, we awaken to the light and the invitation to a new day in the world of time; each night, we surrender to the dark to be taken to play in the world of dreams where time is no more.
-- John O'Donohue

Great work as always, @gric. Last night, @vermillionfox and I watched Hellraiser II. The labyrinth scene with Leviathan, god of flesh looked so reminiscent of one of your paintings. I yelled "...that's Gric's!".

Rumi said
"Come out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love."
What then of other circles, such as the circle of trust? Does it fall within one of the above, or create a third circle?
To John O'Donohue, there is a circle of awakening and surrender.
How many circles are there?

Very bleak and powerful. The colors and textures create a gritty atmosphere. It has a sci-fi feel to it. Very good work sir.

Great painting and amazing atmosphere.
When I saw it - the first impression was that it is inspired by ' Zdzislaw Beksinski ' paintings.
Check out his works, if you dont know the guy .
You will love them !

I like how you included your sphere symbol in this painting like an Easter egg or a hidden signature. So clever and fun.

Yes, I've painted this sphere many times. It's my inter-dimensional space-time-craft. :-)
