Story This painting hits right in the feels

[Spreadingmywings]

It's particularly based on the following lines:

"Thereto the silent voice replied;
"Self-blinded are you by your pride:
Look up thro' night: the world is wide."

 

[QueerMelancholy]

This one always gets me.

The Hands Resist Him

The doorway is a representation of the dividing line between the waking world and the world of fantasy and impossibilities, while the doll is a guide that will escort the boy through it. The titular hands represent alternate lives or possibilities.

I really like this style of art, among other things.
I don't know why, but I feel powerful vibrations when I look at these kinds of images.
It is made by: Dawid Planeta

Reminds me of this one:

 

[Lostandlooking]

This painting came to mind:


Saturn devouring his son by Goya. Not particularly comforting or beautiful in a conventional sense. But certainly powerful. I can feel the utter madness, the aggression, the chaos. That's what speaks to me.

This one is awesome - I remember the original ebay auction back in the year 2000.
