Really cool, I like the way you did the hands, and the use of the barbwire.

Nowdays it's a very rare case when the image powefully shows the author' civil position. SASHA

HI Annette...........i m wondering, what you want to say with this strong picture.......Es hat irre Stärke, aber auch was beängstigendes.....man wird nachdenklich. Gruss vom Thomas.

Robin Brown 01 Dec 2007

Love your work Annette. This says to me that life can be as cold as steel & just as unforgiving. This lost soul has been abandoned & left alone. But lost or not our souls seek out the light. I hope I haven't mis-read your work. XX

Almost is not enough is it? Very captivating.

Trine Meyer Vogsland 27 Sep 2007

That single piece of barbed wire says so much. You are a great inspiration. This is definately my favourite this far.

Most Exellent, Annette!!!!!

Akber Moeen 10 Jun 2007

well i think all the artists below are right, but i guess after freeing himself from the barb wire there is one more cage, to me its seems like an invisible WOMB around him, almost free but not completely.

sadaf hussain 10 Jun 2007

Seriously,this piece is damn,damn good,and i wish i could have painted it :).the most eye catching posture i have ever seen.regards sadaf hussain.

Sharon Randall 08 Jun 2007

WOW!!!!!!This is definantely a intense painting.....a poor character in one of my fav. horror movie......

Sally Pulford 05 Jun 2007

Whar great lines and sense of imminent escape. The contrasts in your brushstrokes define the whole. I love the lights you've used to express the freedom awaiting.

Tamas Horvath 04 Jun 2007

This picture makes me FEEL the torture, very impressive and really powerful! I guess those days when you painted this, weren`t from your happiest ones, but it worth it ;) this painting is GREAT!

Kathy Ostman-Magnusen 04 Jun 2007

Ahhh .. wonderful use of colors.. a patina affect, well done!

Suzana Dancks 03 Jun 2007

Oh my Goodness... makes me want to reach out and help her...or is it that I see myself and many other people in her? Wonderful expression, Annette. You have moved me by this image.

John Davis 02 Jun 2007

Monika Moore 27 May 2007

There is such an intensity in your paintings ... Your artwork is sincere, unique and powerful -- I like your portfolio very much. (This is one of my favorites.) ~M

Henk Van de Kaa 26 May 2007

De vorm en zijn expressie zijn erg fraai! De combinatie van expressie in de verf en detailliering in de handen vind ik bijzonder. Het werk oogt erg monochroom, maar is erg subtiel en bijna lichtgevend in kleurgebruik.

Nora Blansett 25 May 2007

This piece is both striking and somewhat frightening... Almost as if some part of you was trying to say, "Sometimes transitions hurt a bit..." This piece is really moving...

Bruce Black 24 May 2007

Congratulations on this fine expressive work. I especially like the solid quality of your work!

Redjaine 24 May 2007

Elizabeth Levi 14 Apr 2007

pat hedderman 07 Apr 2007

There is great depth in this art.I get something like "freedom is the struggle to be born" from this.

Paul Banham 03 Apr 2007
