In this acrylic painting i wanted to convey the symbolisms of creativity and imagination. I constructed this temple as a symbolic dedication to the powers of the imagination and gave it an egyptian feel. Apis, who represented fertility in egyptian mythology is symbolized by the bull thus the horns and legs coming from the lips. If you look closely you will see a figure sitting on a throne and both arms on the chair arm like structures. The right arm and hand on the left bottom becomes a man with a cane within the hand and the left hand and arm on the right side wears a watch with the dials that break out into the space. I actually would like to build this temple someday perhaps as the entrance to a museum or a museum that houses all my works of art to the public. When the visitor enters the doorway he will be purified and his soul cleansed before he absorbs my visions and ideas in my work inside this structure. Copyright 2005 by myself and Imaginative Pencil.
