Description
*The weight of soft thoughts
that kill,
they kill when you cannot find
escapes practicable to run out and win...
Oh! All the weight that thought brings,
when mirror is never mirroring
the one you would like to see...
But don't give up and never break,
when the weight of soft thoughts
you've tried to forget
comes and makes your forces fade out, and so the breath...
There's nothing to fear
as long as you can name your tears,
there are no fears
as long as you can wipe your tears
after their purifying path on your cheeks bow...
Nothing to fear that a love, a friend can't solve
nothing to fear, that I wouldn't help you for
when at nights the shadows take shapes of wolves...
So when the weight of those soft thoughts
can kill,
just feel you lighter than them, and lift...
Take the light inside, and let yourself perceive you
above the sky,
feel you being that air
that everyone has to breathe to stay safe.
In you I see roses blossoming everytime,
and the most precious garden
you can be,
and like a sister
I treasure you in.
And so feel like the air,
as the light that all embraces...
Feel you as the sweet creature you are
whom my mirror always shows so bright
when I focuse you in,
and I wait for your smile.*

This is Chris, cneofotistos, the first of my four favourite artists in Renderosity portraits.
I can't say anything on Chris's art that could sound not even by far homagin enough the talent the pieces portray: you gotta see and make your own judgement... and I am sure, you on't find words big enough for what the gallery shows.I remember when the first time I received a contact from this anjelic creature.. I wasn't believing what I was reading in teh words that were so graciously sent to me then. I still everytime wonder how Chris can think so nicely of me...but after a while, I just thank above cos it's happening, and I don't ask me no reasons for anymore.
It's just a gift.:)
Chris can paint like rarely I have seen, without having got models, without having proper studies behind. But it's never just a paint the thing you get while opening the thumbnail. It's something more.well, it's WAY more, in fact.
An intense shakin of your perceptions and feelings AND belief.
A pushing kick that goes deep scratchin your hearts.
A pure perfect technique, that is the less noticeable of things stillin what you see, because the message is what will take your souls over, and forever stay inside you. The joint of the technique and the message.. well it's just a miracle in my eyes.It should be in yours too.
You can agree or disagree with the inspirations of Chris: but you can't avoid to agree, what cneofotistos adds here is something that only a real, impressive, extraordinarily TRUE artist could add.This place couldn't be the same without Chris.
Love you always, like a sister.
Thank you for having allowed me this.
It means a lot.

Great pen work, and a hint of a new artist to see... thanks for both!
In my opinion, the best work of art to grace the cyberspace of Renderosity yet. this one is truly breathtaking in it's intensity. But you have mistitled it. she is a Knightress of Renderosity, and a more beautiful tribute I have never seen. Excellent.
un gran ritratto Meli....!! quello primo piano, e quello sguardo suggeriscono molte cose...!! gli occhi del personaggio rivelano quali sono i suoi sentimenti...!! stupenda realizzazione in tutti i suoi aspetti....!!
Breathtaking work Meli!! A grand work of art..touched off by the beauty of roses. Brava!!!
How lovley she is. Great work on the eyes and the hair and such beautiful roses! Excellent work!
