Rafa's Art

This is another one, and on of the last one of the paintings I did with this character.
Again, the door takes you to another door, shows more stairs, a path that seems both difficult and endless, but at the same time mysterious and captivating. I like how the colors of the night turned out. I'm not so exited about the door itself or the seeker. In comparison with the first character, it seems a bit more childish. There is a different feeling to it. I believe you can attribute that to the technique. In the first seeker, the atmosphere is blurrier, the strokes are softer, while in the latest, they are marked by different colors. It seems then that one is more grounded in the past, in a place lost in history, while the other one is more childish, more a theme of a children's book. The theme maybe has stronger references to fantasy (like the monolith in 2001 Space Oddisey) while the first seeker, the Little Martian, is blinded by light in an obscure room. Hence, there is more drama there. Light and darkness always favor drama.
