16.5" x 11.75", 42cm x 29.7cm
graphite on paper

The composition was inspired by Rubens's "Ascension of Mary to Heaven" in Brussels, which I had the chance to see in person. I had two intentions with the picture. One was to capture the power of his composition, creating a counterpart in abstract terms. The other to imitate the complexity of his painting, while attempting to push the boundaries of abstract complexity, within my style.

That's extremely beautiful. I love the style and formation. Great movement and fine ambiance.

I don't think I could do something like this....I don't know if its the patience or the the thought required....they all look like they connect to one another...

Looking at this reminds me of finding diverse shells at the beach.

The top left quarter has a gentle beauty that I find really attractive. The centre shares the beauty of the swirl but is a bit too fast for me and the top right seems awkward and jarring...like a conversation with someone you can't find common ground with.

Now there's a nice bit of waffle for you. :laughing:

I can see how Rubens inspired this piece with the complexity and beauty of the over all composition. Very nice.

Amazing. The skill needed to draw this is great indeed. I keep wanting to look at it again. It's makes me think of hair and smoke merged together.
