Amazing creation, welcome back to Rendo

They (architectural elements) may want to take it away from them - maybe it's a real escape for them ? and they want to go back to the basics of the country side ? either way, it's a choice we have and can make - I know what I would prefer...

Well thought out and translated, into your usual fine surreal style Giuliano.

Amazing composition , excellent executed.

Good to see you back, and with a great image too, one that I couldn't agree more with.

And then they lost their souls and turned to stone! Excellent work! Bravo!

Interesting scene.

~Cheers~

Neat surrealism....

Another masterful image from you, Giuliano. And again: Your human characters have absorbed the textures and materials around them: In this image, people have become brick and stone.

There's real hope in this image.

First, the humans are giving movement and dance to the bricks.

On the other hand, the humans are "inhabited"---they've been "taken over" by the bricks. So the image is hopeful and transformative (transformativo); but also depressing and dark. Filled with warning...

Second, you've discarded architecture, and left only the 'building blocks' of architecture. (The 'construzioni'? 'mattoncini'? 'mattone'? I hope my Italiano is decent...) So the massive bulk of architecture is gone: Just the 'molecules' of architecture remain. And those 'molecules'---ie, the large slabs and chunks of brick and stone---float in the air. They're airborne. They're freed from the confines of their original buildings. There's something hopeful about that.

And yet... those floating architectural blocks hang over the humans like oppressors. They don't move, they don't 'go anywhere': They just hover in the air, like Judges, or like walls which these people cannot escape. This is brilliantly done, Giuliano.

And your humans are amazingly diverse: They dance, they fall to their knees, they try to run away, they look back at each other, one looks up to cry "why are you oppressing us???" And all of them seem to be alone, even though they're close to each other. In some ways, they're like a modern Breughel festival, only they're more isolated from each other, and they seem 'lost'.

Your ground is a big metallic floor...and then a deep blue sea-like sky. Very surrealistic, with the clarity of a Magritte painting. It has your usual genius for representing human predicaments in imagery. Your palette of grays and beiges is very powerful. And the whole image feels like a gigantic dance, with the randomness of a city, and the feeling that humans are scattered, searching, lost. And yet...the floating brick walls offer some hope because they're floating, they're no longer on the ground, so perhaps the people can push them away if they want.

This is an image of many feelings, GIuliano. It's brilliantly done, and brilliantly constructed. Bravo.

(Incidentally: The reason there was no image for my last upload is that the upload was only writing. A silly tale, no more. The tale was "nonsense," just silliness. I appreciate your asking about the image. I'll post another image soon. Thanks for your concern and note, Giuliano; sorry there was nothing to look at.)

Good to see you, my friend!

Excellent work!

Nice idea, cool image

One can always buy vital space in the city (or anywhere, like President Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Florida) if there's enough money (NOT saying it's a good thing). Which is a separate, and contentious, issue obviously.

I agree with Anahata.c's analysis, however, and hope that people will bring positive change to the building blocks of the city.

The textures on your figures are impressive, Guilband. Totally seamless.

wonderful image, great work

beautiful

Wow

I missed you....... Thank you for being back my friend!!! ;)

What an awesome creation my friend.. Fabulous concept also !!!

Conceptually wonderful !!

To me this render speaks of how we view the world around us and how in turn our worldview affects us. When in our thought we reduce the Universe to so much brute matter (as reductionistic science does), represented by all the rectangular blocks in the air, we reduce ourselves and the people around us to the same thing -- hence all the human figures composed of bricks, just like the blocks in the sky. Human values are nullified. A very thought-provoking work!
