History:
I painted this... frivolous masterpiece ;) during the phase of
living in Greece, just before going back to the UK
(to study
Computer Science, this time).
The painting is also a collage: After it was done (with acrylics on
canvas), a postcard depicting a sunset (in
a Greek
island) was pasted onto it! Ah well, this was my easy lazy way, of achieving the desired result, without.... bothering to actually
paint a sunset from scratch!
:)
I was actually tired of painting, at the time. And I had
already started toying around with early home computers, as well as
preparing to go back to the UK for studying computer science. So... why
on earth should I paint a real
sunset?;)

Semantics:
This painting depicts a whale
who acquired a (rather frivolous) form of "whale psychosis",
symbolised by the crazy
umbrella on the right, used for... fishing
purposes, as well as the... horny
tree, grown on the head of
the whale, bearing
roundish red fruits. The whale is also fantasizing itself to be a...
yellow
submarine, and living in the... sky above the sea,
instead of a lifetime below the sea,
which was (most probably) boring
for the whale, and may
have even contributed to the whale's
psychosis! :)
Ah well,. call me insane, if you like, but I did imagine that whales
(being very intelligent gentle creatures, most of them) can also get insane,
from time to time (depending on what their
notion of "insanity" means to them)! :-)
