Outstanding work.
I've looked forward to seeing this since you posted a detail some time back.

:eek: oh my god !! this is wonderful !! :D

This is excellent! I especially enjoyed the added twist that (for me at least), such is the power of the composition that it took a second or two to notice that he has three hands (well, two and a half to be more precise). Very Dali-esque, in portraiture, subject, style and even title. I love this. It may have been a long time coming, but it's been well worth the wait. :tu: :tu: :tu:

Beyond excellent!! The imagery is superb and I love that shadow of the open hand. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

cneofotistos, fantastic painting. I love Dali's work and this is an excellent homage to him.

I would love to have an oil painting of this image to hang up in my study.

I have a small critique - I think the shadow on his left arm is too dark given the light composition of the rest of the figure.

Great work! :tu: :tu: :tu:

Visionary :D

Excellent finish, and very much worth the wait.

[Nikko]

Bloody nice work, Christos :) Nice to see your work blessing the forum here!

[juandel]

a wonderful hommage, Christos! i will always refer to this masterpiece regarding the most exquisite lighting - makes me think that you have spent part of the 4 months creating a wax-figure for studying lights effects :D + :tu:s to no end + kudoskudoskudos!

I knew you were great but this goes beyond! Absolutely the best! All the little details! It's a joy and pleasure to see your work, thanks for sharing!

[Gerlon]

Its amazing how you set such high standards for yourself yet still manage to top them with every new work of art you produce. I don't think I've ever seen anything of yours that didn't impress me. There is so much symbolism is this that I can't even hope to sort it all out :p :D :tu: :tu: :tu:

[hitch]

Christos
I was wondering what was your purpose in creating this artwork. Was it mearly a simple homage to the artist. or was it a comment on the artist and his practice, or was it somthing else, also the subject matter in Dalis work is now considered iconic, his trademarks, why did you choose the particular symbols,ie crouches, melting clock, reversal of gravity, to place in your portraite of him?
Thank you very much for sharing a wonderful piece with us. This is going straight up on the wallpaper.
