Great Composition! Tipped over king...conceding the game...great stuff!

Good concept

Il tempo vincerà sempre perché semplicemente il tempo non,,,,, esiste .La dimostrazione è molto semplice .Il tempo è costituito da "Passato " , " Presente " e " Futuro " . , Dunque il passato , in quanto tale , non c'è più e pertanto non esiste ; Il Presente , giusto un attimo per pensarlo ed è già "Passato " e pertanto non esiste ; il " Futuro " è di la da venire e pertanto non esiste . Conclusione il Tempo non esiste !!(LOL) Un poco di Filosofia spicciola a volte non guasta per poter affrontare con ironia le sfide che il "Futuro " ci riserva ! Come sempre un ottimo ed intrigante lavoro !!!! The time will always win because quite simply, the time , not exist. The proof is very simple. The time consists of "Past", "present" and "Future"., hence , the past, as such, is gone and therefore does not exist. the present (just a moment to think of it) and is already "Past" and therefore does not exist; the "future" is the come and therefore does not exist. Conclusion , time does not exist!! (LOL)

A little petty Philosophy sometimes does not hurt to confront with irony the challenges that the future holds for us!

As always a great and intriguing work!

Super amazing image and truth about time.

Very stylised and a great composition. Fine work sir. :)

Another amazing visione from you, Giuliano. The woman is made of mosaic tiles---a strong theme in your work. The tiles make her look 'timeless', etched into stone...Yet she's very much from this moment, this single 'secondo' in time. And she peers into this room, as if she's peering into her whole life.

The room has lots of open space. But it's also filled with objects of memory. The rocking-horse is transparent, like memory. The chair (in the background) is transparent, like memory. You have a few books on the floor...remnants of a grand past, strewn across space like memory is strewn across space. A portrait on the wall---I can't see the details, but it looks like it's a portrait of someone from her past, maybe someone long gone...And the portrait is tilted, which suggests that time has come into this room and loosened the portrait from the wall. And the huge hour-glass/clessidra: As always, you give us opulent, highly detailed objects, when you want to make a strong argument. The clessidra is very large, it's imposing. And it seems to be "finished": All the sand has fallen to the bottom! Yet, the woman contemplates it---perhaps she sees the end of her own life...or perhaps she sees beyond. Her quiet, meditative gaze suggests that she might see both. It's brilliantly done.

The room is articulated with deep reds, yellows and pinks. It looks a little like the patterns on endpapers in books. (Risguardo? The papers inside the hard-covers of old books? Riguardo? I don't know the Italiano...) The room is painted in the hues of old cherished books. Or the hues of fine leather. Thus, your image is doused in more "old time," and memory...

But finally: The image ends in a chess set: Like she's playing chess with life. (Like the film The Seventh Seal, by Ingmar Bergman, where a knight plays chess with death...) And a king---one lonely king, a deep red-brown king: It is fallen. It's taken from the board of life. Brilliant---as if our inner royalty is stolen by time, piece by piece. Another brilliant image from you, Giuliano. Very articulate, very expressive, and, as always, beautiful.

True my friend. Time always wins, even it's kind of illusion.. Do you know the time we define is only a effect of movement ? :) So in fact our time is only a matter of choices we make in our life vs. the world way.

I notice certain things in this render: time seems to have done its destructive work, as in the decayed appearance of the walls and floor, and the hourglass the sand in which has all gone to the bottom. But the chessboard and chesspieces all look neat and new -- suggesting the prospects for a new game, a new round of chess!

As I see it, time always wins if you're concerned with time at all. If not -- if you can live always in the present -- then time ceases to exist. But it's not easy. ;) (The Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and the physicist David Bohm have come together to discuss this issue, and their thoughts are found in a book titled The Ending of Time.)

An hourglass on the moon or Mars should keep the same time. Gravity value differs but the principal is the same. Maybe a different slipperier sand for that brief passage through the neck and then freefall is the same time for feathers as for cannon balls on earth and so a variance in value should give all heights the same time of fall on all masses. But it is the creep on the glass upper and the sifting that creates the time of passage. I'm glad we learned about masers and atomic clocks before the time ran out.
