Artist's Comments

This particular piece evolved over a few days whenever ideas presented itself. At first it simply started as another exercise in perspective, but different ideas kept coming in at different times and eventually it started taking form on its own when I am reminded of the many stories from the Arabian Nights.

So in the end, this piece was simply something that described where I wanted to be at the time: someplace far away and mystical, in a cozy ornate room with the wafting scent of incense in the air, overlooking an ancient cypress tree in the distant hills underneath the stars. A full view is much better of course :)

Edit: Sorry for the resubmit! After some thought and deliberation as well as some suggestions, I've decided to remove the border and have the piece stand out on its own.

The sense of space in this room is fabulous... I really like the juxtaposition between the lamps inside and the stars outside. Another excellent piece, Eka :)

Thank you so much Sean! :) Yeah, I went a little star happy :XD: I had tons of geometric fun for this one and went mad with making lines and visual planes when suddenly it started building a theme of its own :D

This is quite awsome Eka. You have a really cool concept going on here, but her ass(excuse me) is to big :)

Keep it up :)
