about this artwork
lotus flowers on a murky temple lake at karnak, upper egypt
2017
karnak temple complex, upper egypt
under the reign of pharaoh ramses II
around 1250 b. c.
the temple complex had a vast lake from which the priests did their ritual washings prior to start their daily temple routine praying, singing, doing offerings and taking care of god amun's golden statue.
imagine this holy lake at night where its waters seem to be dark and murky, covered with lotus flowers swimming on its surface ...
what might lurk under the dark surface ?
would you dare taking a swim in it at night ?
don't you fear amun's wrath after having desecrated this holy site ?
MESSAGE from THE NEWBIE that I am in the Art World
As a newbie int the art jungle I had to learn quite a painful lesson indeed - four years ago I was contacted by
ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK
telling me that they were quite interested in representing me and my artwork.
THAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER ...
As a newbie I have never before heard about so-called VANITY GALLERIES, etc. and believed that - if you wish to exhibit here and there - then one would have to pay for that. Today I - as well as plenty of other unhappy artists which had put their faith in ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK CITY - have learned that I had been fooled for almost 2 years and that my reputation as an artist must have been dangerously jeopardized because of my ignorance and naiveté, or - as many art critics see it - for wanting to boost my ego.
That has never been my attention at all ... unfortunuately, I didn't know it better at that time.
What had happen however is that not only did ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK CITY NOT do anything of what they promised and got largely paid for
but worst of all - they never returned my two artworks in their "care"
# 280 THE TEAR
as well as
# 285 BREAKING FREE - the last journey of huguette
The two artworks that connected me to my late mother-in-law !!!
May this mishap be a warning to other inexperienced artists - never accept invitations from any VANITY GALLERY that are pure scam ...
Be careful, watch out, check out before making a decision involving your artwork or your money !!!
