Artist's Comments

Smile of course.. I made this land art piece when I was making photomanipulation extensively, I wanted to anchor myself in the real world while manipulating it, being a stranger in this big city sucks, none says hello, none smiles...Rarely someone recognizes you...
So I created a smile using 2 snails..

It is one of me best photos (whether it is popular or not on DA, it does not matter in fact, I am adding the photo to my gallery for those who like my art and my tries:))

Wow.
First, I want to say that the two snails catch your eye immediatley. I like how they are contrasted with the green of the leaf and how vibrant they are.
I really like the smile too :) and in your comments you said
"no one smiles, no one says hello..." I think that in itself made me love the picture even more as it brought a whole new meaning to it. :)
i feel that the thought of using the art to brighten up your day makes the picture have such a stronger meaning. It truly is amazing and you did a great job with it.

Your work is so distinctly refreshing, and in fact emanates a certain charm and flair that I personally find very adamant in the genre of French Pop Art. I think the illustrative, painter's side of you shines gloriously in here too, a wonderful opportunity to showcase your brilliant, uncomplicated creativity.

The greatest impact lies in the fact that... I never assumed this to be a manipulation. It is work such as yours that shines hope on this particular medium. I can't get past the overt brightness of this, a luminous quality both in presentation and context, making it impossible to ignore.

Simple things can truly have deep meanings. :]

I like the way you presented this photograph and how you put so much meaning into it. Keep up the good work!
