One of the most detailed and complex pieces I've completed to date. This piece was inspired by renaissance visions of hell merged with time-lapse videos of dueling coral. It began as many of my paintings with chaotic abstract forms that gradually take on discernable qualities. The depths of the sea are alien landscapes upon which the imagination can be projected. Gilgamesh is one of many heroes to undertake a journey into the mystic underworld in search of an ultimate prize.
Reverse: Sketch for another painting: three harpies lurking in a tree adorned with morbid remains.
