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.

Macroscopic VIsion Beyond the Senses of Vermeer's Lacemaker
Continuing with the Deep Dream Generators ability to be used artistically, and while still being able to develop Nietzsche's ideas of combining the Apollonian and the Dionysian, I decided to visit Vermeer's Lacemaker, to fulfill Dali's attemp at describing the underlying geometry as Rhinocerous horns. If you have followed the previous paintings and explanations of this geometry and how I am trying to depict the subtle nuances found in the fluidity of matter and their interactions with the objects or matter they come in contact with. This is a macroscopic look beyond the sences showing how density, form movement, temerperature and external forces change the composition on a microscopic scale of everything we are surrounded by.
In 1955 when Dali asked the Louvre permission to make a copy of the Lacemaker, he set up in the museum only to draw a series of Rhinocerous horns which put the focus of the work on the gaze and needles of the Lacemaker. These forms were painted to allow the viewer to see and better understand the underlying geometry and tension in the painting. Dali was basing his interpritation on his return to classisism and Nuclear Mysticism", which tried to interprit and describe the space between atoms.
My version looks much closer and takes in account what is known today in the worlds of fluid dynamics and string theory.
