Quite a while ago, I fell in love with this painting by Anthony Clarkson (I’m a sucker for skillfully done art that is drenched in symbolism, especially if it involves the intermingling of light a shadow)

Clarkson began his career as a digital artists doing album covers, but soon branched out to create his own rich, artistic world.

Hang on, my head is exploding because this next painting has too many things I love.

Though much of his work has a somber or ominous air to it, some pieces are gorgeous and uplifting.
