Your '' artistic fingerprint'' and unique style makes me forget it's a version after Böcklin. ;-)

Interesting work - I am tempted to do some research about all the different versions based on Böcklin. .... if I had the time ..... there are also a ton of paintings about the Tower of Babylon based on Pieter Bruegel. Thinking about Wessi...... in a way I feel this painting of yours is almost like a hybrid between the Isle of Death and the Tower of Babylon.

I simply meant it made me think of both gothic and technological styles, which might otherwise be at odds.
I probably should have said technological, if I am going to make up terms, since technical implies something to do with technique.
