Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers. A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.

-- Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Marvelous painting! Amazing texture in details! I would say that this concept is unique but very Jungian. :)

What makes is Jungian?

I think the archetype of Death and Rebirth is present in your painting. Stone as a universal symbol of transformation and durability, links the seemingly dry trees above and the lower corridor to a new, hopeful life. The chessboard is just the scene of life that challenges everyone on a fascinating journey. But this is just my interpretation and I hope you don't mind! :)

Such a beautiful artwork. It has a very different vibe from your current paintings. Of course, this is very normal;)

Wow, very nice, especially like the space underneath the chess board. The mountain detail is amazing.
