I loved seeing your fatherΒ΄s work and love seeing the way it inspired your first works and how you have evolved from there. Wonderful post!

Marvelous.....and refreshingly deep. Thank you for sharing. Upvoted & Resteemed :)

Makes me want to go there and check it out... climb into the small places.. but it also scares me a great deal, as i mentioned before.
This is one of the best i have seen from you Peter! The colors are .. lock of a better word: GREAT !

Thank you @agneslaczo! Glad to hear you like it! :-)

You have no taste for art lady. Shame on you for flagging my posts when all I am doing is promoting my art.

love them all.. cool to see what your father made!!

Thanks @erikbolding! You can see his other work here: https://www.facebook.com/jaroslav.gric/

checked it out... you are both the type of paintstaking long works :-)

Awesome piece! I love to see your use of a different color palate on this one, a little more "living nature" than the usual. The detail images on this post are fantastic as well, bringing to light things I didn't see on the overall photo. Marvelous details! I also see that Death Star type object hiding in the skyline. ☺️ "That's no moon..."
Once more, I must say "bravo!"

Thank you @aksounder! :-)

I love that you had your father's work to inspire you. I had an Aunt who painted who inspired me and my Grandmother took up painting in her 80's and lived into her 100s. She also greatly inspired me.

I love the palette and the Hieronymus Bosch feel to it. Well done.

Thank you @donnadavisart!

goly that's so beautiful!
love the details
no one can think what it hides looking from afar.

That is crazy good, you are a true master painter I can believe this was your first painting you did there :0

Well, It took me quite some time to finish it...

I can believe that, please tell me you still own it and haven't sold it off. a piece like that you should keep for as long as possible.

It's in my parents' place, not for sale!

That's good because those painting are memories.

I'm not sure I can add anything more to what the previous people have said, love your work. @gric can't wait to see more of your work.

Thanks a lot @artkapture!

  • __ * amazing...

i've never been not amazed by your works and creativity and attention to details * __ *

the bodies and strangeness in the zoomed in details are so surreal and full with their own stories * __ *

upvotes and resteems

Thanks @veryspider!

Stellar stuff man, I get some Giger vibes from this. Im curious, is the art academy in vienna an atelier? I attended the Georgetown Atelier in Seattle, and studied with a student who attended an atelier in spain.

Thanks @joeyok! The Art Academy is actually an university - you can find the details here: https://www.akbild.ac.at/portal_en/akbild_startpage?set_language=en&cl=en

Amazing painting again. Great textures and hidden details. I love it :D

Thank you @sanderjansenart!

Wow @gric! You continued to captivate, fascinate and put me into a constant amazement. No dull moments on your masterpiece bursting of so much stories which I find it bizaare and enigmatic. Furthermore, you keep on tickling our imagination to go beyond. Truly, you were born with it! :)

Thank you very much @aurisco!

Excellent work and art!

If you have time, could you check my works? Δ± will be very happy.

Have a nice day..

Thanks!

I love the hidden bodies and how it turns from a very warm green into a cold one...

Thanks @patschwork!

From father to son,i think you are all talented :) and again details details...really imressive...i like your paintings a lot my friend...

Have a nice night

Thanks @mnallica !

Dear Artist @gric ! This post has been upvoted from FineArtNow account ! See you soon !

Thank you!

To see all of the details I have to look under the microscope.
How is it a 1cmΒ². There are so many details lol.

The square shows how big a square cm is in comparison to the actual painting.

Oh, the white square is a square cm. Lol, I get it now.
I thought the whole picture was a square cm.

The color balance is spectacular and as always the details are the maximum. I do not know if I told you before but some of your pieces remind me of the work of H. R. Giger. πŸ˜€

Thanks @ruygda!
