Image description
"The Meaning of Death" (Albedo) is the second part of the tryptich 'Magnum Opus' - my personal metaphysical journey into the pits of my subconsciousness.
Took about nine years to complete - it's not that I've been painting this piece all these years from dawn till dusk or vice versa (one has to be a real retard if he needs that much time for just painting over 400 square inches).
