Artist's Comments

Bury me standing...this sentence hit me.
It is the title of reportage book, written about Romany (so called Gypsy). [link]
It might be translated in your language, so check it. It's worth reading, at least for me, it gave me new point of view.

However, this picture was't inspired by Romany way to live, but was the words..."Bury me standing".
This four words are so deep that it would never come up to my heart, as long as I keep on living as usual.

I love all the colors on this. You've captured the mood of 'Bury me standing' perfectly in this piece. Your work always amazes me.

The background reminds me of a folk cut-out, a sort of a paper doily which are so characteristic for some regions of the country I live in.
These words are indeed very... I would say strong. And they are a good recomendation for this book (I hope I'll get it someday). I think thay can be spoken by someone who knows the value of life and death, who is conscious of himself. But maybe someting about your work, instead of my random comments about something diferent.
Althought the title says: "Bury me..." the colors are very catchy, very lively. To me it's more like a beautiful spectacle than a sad ceremony burials usually are. I like that the person here is quite calm as if the process was natural; because the dark hands that pull him down look a bit disturbing to me. However, thay don't pull forcibly (at least to me it doesn't look like they were).
In general, I find it very good.

The patterns look like they'd taken hours to do. You have a thing for color choices. It's very attractive.

Thank you.
It's very encouraging that you watch my growth.
