"Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong,
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong,
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me!
What else can I be but what I am?
I want to live, not merely survive,
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive.
I gotta be me, I gotta be me!
The dream that I see makes me what I am."
My real homepage: www.varian.netBIOI've been making art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. For well over a third of a century, I explored many media (personally and professionally) and my favorites came to be color pencils (Prismacolor), acrylics, paper (folding, sculpting, papier mâché, origami), pencil/ink and yes, crayons too. With my first computer, I was immediately hooked on this new technological art medium and for over a decade, I worked exclusively digitally, gathering a wide arsenal of digital art tools.
Recently, I've made a return to paper, working on several altered books and collage projects. Mixed media still rules as I remain unaligned by tool/software, process or technique.

It is yet amazing, for me, how that which is simple can be so expressive and speak on the highest level of refined art. Your image is not only an awesome display of skill but also a wonderful thought that speaks in forms and colours - i am really very impressed! Excellent painting and wonderful message!

Wow, such a impressive lighting! ...those details tell quite a story, and combined with image name... a lot of 'mind candy' also!

Heavenly beautiful Varian!!! The guardian angel that walks silently right behind you , even if your life feels like a desert. So I interpret this wonderful painting.

Cool image. Getting another take on this. Think the sun's going down, and this is not exactly the guardian angel with silent steps coming up behind... Sands of time covers up the events of the pass. Life's short... Mind Candy as mentioned.

Oh my oh my!! This is....am short of words here...a dream surely...makes me think of the last book by Anne Rice that I read: "Vittorio the vampire"! That's exactly how I pictured the angels and their surrounding atmosphere...the light, the softness, the feeling of eternity and love...amazing Varian...Thx for so much beauty! :)

At last the sun slowly shows her face, sweeping away the shadows. The first blows of the morning breeze gently strokes the feather's point against his heels... Forgive me everybody. It was stronger than me, that image evokes poetry.
