'The Lament for Icarus 2020' is one of my digital-artwork, created in 2D/3D softwares. It's my way of paying homage to the classicist artist Herbert James Draper.  we can still comprehend the deep meaning contained in Greek mythology.

My earlier reply had nothing to do with "vibes." I was saying that for many folks (not all), it's the talent and skill that go into a piece that adds to our appreciation of it. Have you ever seen a statue by a great sculptor, like the Pieta by Michelangelo? Yes, the thing itself is beautiful, but part of what makes it amazing is that it's carved out of stone. If Michelangelo was able to make it happen just by describing it, it wouldn't be renown as something truly great.

So sure, cool image, but not a work of art in my mind because there was no artistic talent to make it happen. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy the image.
