Keira Knightley

This one took me many hours to complete but I love a big challenge and anyway, I'm still in learning mode.
Thank You for watching.

Scarlett Johanssen

Trying to refocus on portrait paint, and hoping not to relapse into selective detailing syndrome as I did many times before.
I think this one turns out OK. I've added a light green tint for that cinematographic effect.
Thank you 4watching.

Timeless

If time travel is possible, what would be the first thing that you would do if you could travel either to the past or to the future and back. Wouldn't you want to save the lives of the ones that you love? How would this disrupt events in your present day?
I still hope the construction of a stargate or time travel machine to be not impossible but I'm not so sure about what the consequences will be. A much awaited dream of a unified theory of quantum mechanics and gravitation will be able to help us explain the process in a long way.

A Rising Legend

Birth of a rising legend

Rose Galaxy

This is my first attempt at space art.
Some facts about our universe and some new concepts in today's world of cosmology:

* The age of our universe or more precisely the time since the Big Bang expansion is estimated to be 13.7 billion years.
* There are about 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe, each able to accomodate billions of stars.
* Our universe will decay either thru rapid expansion (imaging blooming of a flower) into nothingness or it may collapse and we will tunnel out of space/time. However, that is still a long way to go...
* String theory and cosmic chaotic inflation have given rise to the possibility of infinite multiuniverses around us - no longer fiction or a far-fetched idea :)
* Though we are anchored to this one observable universe, we are continually differentiating into many versions of ourselves, even as I paint/write this, out there in other dimensions or as we say, other 'realities' with different sets of 'physical' laws.
* If this is true, it will inevitably lead us to the fundamental question: Is this universe created by intelligent design for us only or is this seemingly bio-friendly part of the universe created out of randomness from an infinite number of multiverses?

Because no one really knows for sure, a little humour is necessary:
We are not only given free lunch (our existing universe) but we are also served free lunch with all possible dishes you can ever imagine (multiverses), except that you won't be able to taste them at this point in time/space, if ever.

A Distant Dream 2

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks Plutarch

Greatly inspired by classical seascape artists...
Thank you for watching!
