Cocytus

8.2.15

Based on acrylic painting on canvas with some edition, corrections, and other experiments in photoshop.
More abstract and surreal vision of the ninth circle of hell - a frozen lake Cocytus.
A great inspirations came from Dante Alighieri's  "Divine Comedy" (Inferno).
And musically - from Tempestuous Fall (Midnight Odyssey)  www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgfdaJ…

"Darkest Frozen
 Deepest Fallen
 Shades of phantom
 Souls blowing cold words
 Too late...

 In the shades of
 Chains forged eternal
 You take your place
 Amongst the ice"

A journey that started at february 2014 (pluto color test was even during summer 2013, nearly forgotten) and after a year of experiments, working-seeking... creating - it finished.
From a small sketch with a pencil, some color tests, cosmic dimentions to a dark, cold and more abstract but still with a strong feelings - vision. Like it should be from very the first time.


February 2014 - February 2015...
