This series of paintings is based on love.and the feelings it elicits. The electro chemical reactions to love in the brain, and the desire it causes.
We are here to evolve, learn, accomplish, inspire, and create. There are combinations of these elements that give us drive and will. No matter where we come from, what our status is, intellectual prowess, or position in life, I feel there is one more thing beyond the elements that makes most of us the same. Love. Beyond all the distractions and glamour, pain, and suffering, I feel we all want to love and be loved. I'll close this book with the wish that you have love in your life and heart and that it attracts the love you deserve.
"Love is the Answer" is the first of the series and depicts the love of a couple as they affectionately lean towards echother.They are formed simply by the archway the defines day from night. A golden film that seperates the dark from the light. Their love is universal and exists in the complexity that is the world around us. Each thermal whisp in the space time of the scene is executed to visulaize the wondrous complexity of even the most simple landscape. Know that the same complex fluidity flows within and throughout the space between your molecules, with each complex pocket formed dby the movement of temperature and corpuscular movement. The world around us is a wondrous place, but just behind the verneer of our senses, lies a world beyond the dreams of most.
Love is the Answer Oil on Canvas 12"x9" Louis Markoya - 2020
Love is the Answer is based on the tiny painting to the left, which has been brought to visualization utilizing the very latest in Neural software and deep dreams.
That painting which I did long ago was based on a combination of two Dali works shown below, Couple with Heads full of Clouds and Architectural Reminiscence of Millets Angelus.

Algo Madonna
When Raphael created "The Alba Madonna", he used the round format to direct the eye of the viewer on what may be the most beautiful of all religious paintings. I think Raphael, consciously, or unconsciously used what math and geometry he could, along with color, to entice the viewer into loving his masterwork. So masterful and beautiful in his execution, this painting along with the great cathedrals and churches, inspire belief.
I present to you the hidden superfluous geometry of this work. The form and fluid motion that is evident to me in the work. This is my second religious painting in a row, and while I feel strongly that both images are statements against Christian dogma. Exactly how in this case I am not sure, except for the appearance of fractal testicles above the Madonna's head. I will allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions and interpretations, or just hopefully enjoy the beauty in the original and its fractal enhancements.
I have simply changed the Alba to Algo to designate the algorithmic nature of my interpretation. The Algo Madonna is another in the series of fractal reconstructions of classic masterpieces I have taken on to display the ability of the fractal to illustrate or enhance any imagery. When I created the two flame fractals that I used to enhance this work I immediately knew they were part of Raphaels masterpiece.

From Wikipedia
Art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon says of the painting:
The Alba Madonna is a breathtakingly beautiful work of art, all the more impressive since recent restoration work brought back the original, delicate pastel colors used by the artist, and revealed the subtle depth and brilliancy of the landscape background. The buildings on the hilltop at the right-hand edge of the composition are caught by a raking light and have been misted by varying degrees of haze to create the illusion of relative distance from the eye – a technique known as aerial perspective. The far mountains are similarly hazed by distance to a rich azure, while the sky above varies in color from Wedgewood blue, at its apex, to a cool milky-white on the horizon. This range of colours is repeated in the folds and shadows of the Madonna’s blue robes, which at once echo and animate the circular shape of the composition. A monumental, comforting figure, clothed in robes that look as if woven from a piece of fallen sky, she seems like a world unto herself. Although she sits on the ground, which links her iconographically to the tradition of the Madonna of Humility, her statuesque grandeur calls to mind earlier Renaissance images of the Madonna della Misericordia – images of the Virgin as Queen of Heaven and protectress of all humanity. The faintest trace of archaism survives, in Raphael's painting technique, in the almost imperceptibly delicate gold halo inscribed into the air above her head.[2]
