Help me pick "the pic" (choice, experience)

They are all better then I could do . But I liked #3 , Lotus For Brains . Not only does it nicely symbolize the spiral climb to the " Godhead ", but I like the fact that you have three positions on the " climb ". Which to me would symbolize the Three Realities , Physical , Mental , and Spiritual . It has very few sharp lines , except for in the doorways of the tower .... And Lotus are always cool .

I also like #2 , Feet on a Leaf . To me it is a little more light hearted , more relaxed . And it is different , in a fun sort of way . But it also ties everything in . Sneakers on a leaf , floating on the sea of the subconscious , watching the Spirit emerge .

Well , those are my favorites . And the whys .

Hmm..... man of many talents......

I have to hold my hand up and claim ignorance to art, I really don't have a clue - but keen to learn!
It is difficult to choose the best image since I don't know you or anything of what you have written, but I'd like to share some comments and would be interested to hear what you think, of course you're the expert having drawn the pictures!


Image 10 is striking, peaceful and content. Is it illustrating being in touch with an advanced level of consciousness?

Image 9, the image of the face smiling at the bottom middle reminds me of Plato’s story of the cave. Has she escaped from the cave? Have you escaped from the cave?

Greetings YmirGF. An amazing set of artwork. I loved each one of the pieces because of the concepts involved, that only you could come up with, and also because IMO of the significant artistic ability displayed. Makes choice difficult but I finally narrowed to 3,4,5, and 10 as my favorites. Three, for the tiny self and significant path to the much greater self; four, revealing the complexities of your mind (, just kidding) -revealing complexities of interconnectedness of things through different dimensions that are difficult to understand; five, kind of a double meaning symbolic of a down-to-earth awakening each day to the beauty of life with a second meaning of a breakthrough moment to rebirth for a new being in a new transformation of reality in the 'new morning;' and ten, love the tiny symbols at the bottome for fundamental separation into plus and minus that reunite and bubble up to the human self that is special and glowing perhaps with consciousness radiating out to all (or from all).

Would you call this Conceptual Art where you are trying to convey concepts you wish others to get some idea about and thoughts of understanding? In addition, part of the value of your art seems to me to be in stimulating interpretations, concepts, and thoughts within others as well as just being interesting to look at.
Enjoyed them - good work and best wishes.
P.s., I ended up voting for 5 as my number one choice but could agree with others on 10 which was debatable as no. one for me also.

No, definitely picture 7.

Nut is hanging over Geb, on her hands and feets, supposedly the 4 cardinals, and Geb has erect phallus pointing upwards, towards her sister. There are many variations of Geb and Nut, and some of these images included their father (Shu), separating his children, possibly due to his jealousy. The Egyptian myth actually mentioned their father's involvement.

The yellow part of the sky reminds me of Nut. Often her belly shows stars, to indicate that she is the sky goddess.

There is a different version to the myth, known as the Destruction of Mankind, where she transformed into cow, carrying Re or Ra (her grandfather), the sun god to heaven, but her legs became shaky the higher they ascend to heaven, so Re ordered his son Shu should hold her steady. So here, she is not seen as naked woman arched over her brother, but a cosmic or heavenly cow.

Talking about Egyptian myth, make me wish that I have posted my new website.

I liked #2 the best, "Feet on a Leaf", because: 1) I liked how you used the focal point in your pic, and 2) it just made me feel so happy.



Actually, all of your work has brought a smile to my face, but #2 evoked the strongest reaction.




Peace,
Mystic

Just as a visual image, #2 is outstanding!

But #3, #4, #6 and #10 are also very good.

Great job!

Thank you so much Dave. I was seriously interested in what a "real" artist had to say... not that I am dissing everyone elses comments, but I think people will understand what I mean.

Oddly, #2 is the only one of the entire group that was originally a pen drawing on loose leaf lined paper. I had to edit all the lines and thirty years of discoloration from the image, isolate the lines and then re-rendered it in Photoshop the way I remember the image that made me draw the "doodle" in the first place. Glad you liked it... it took several hours just to edit.
