Through my study of old masters, relics, and biographies, I always come across items that inspire me. After seeing Caspar David Friedrich's "Wanderer Among the Seas of Fog," I created the picture "Going Back to Venice" (after "The Notorious BIG's: Going Back to Cali"). 

As stated in Genesis 1:27, "God made man in his image; in the image of God he created him; as a man and a woman, he formed them". The man and the woman standing at the bow of a modern boat that represents Noah's Ark.

The sea is a metaphor for all that is unknowable and incomprehensible, for the source of all life, not just the individual. It serves as both a symbol of the collective unconscious and an archetypal portrayal of life's ups and downs in general. 

As a painter, I can now tell a painting's mood just by looking at its colors. According to a proverb, the sea should be calm when a pleasant and peaceful future is foreseen. On the other side, the sky ought to be stormy as a contrast. The moon is associated with light, darkness, unconsciousness, change, time, the soul, sacrifice, imagination, fertility, romance, instinct, and many other things.

Although the image is well balanced, it conveys one of those intuitive urges of non-grasping, non-real ability.
