Description EDIT: made some pretty major changes to this piece. felt like it was still missing something.... hopefully now I stop messing with it

I'm never sure what to say about my serious personal paintings anymore :,D at least with commission work I never have to try and explain any artistic meaning.

I'm not sure what spurred this image except for the fact that I've been wanting to create a surrealist painting featuring a black-sand beach for quite some time now... my fav artist, Zdzisław Beksiński, influenced the portal-looking squares (which lead to another digital painting of mine - which was also inspired by him, fittingly)

the dolphin depicted is supposed to be a rough-toothed one, because they look prehistoric and ancient to me. like they know forbidden secrets

THANK

this was honestly so much fun to create, it satisfied some deep artistic craving in myself that I don't think I had really even been aware of lol

the dolphin is so beautifully rendered and I'm in love with all the effects and geometric aspects of this pic.. I think you married them together really well! also I'm a total sucker for the colour scheme...

THANK YOU FOR THIS NICE COMMENT I'm cryign

I'm so glad that all the weird things I put into this picture actually ended up looking okay and not too busy or forced, which is something I was really worried about haha;; I always kinda struggle with finding the stopping point of an artwork and I pushed myself to go a little further from my comfort zone with this one

(also aaaa yes, dark colors + gold are my FAV and I really need to use them more)

TY AGAIN FOR YOUR NICE WORDS (AND THE MENTION OH MYG OSH) I will carry them forever in my heart;;;;;
