“Darkness of life is more inspiring than happy and safe people”, says France-based Ciryl Rolando, one of the best digital painting artists in the world. He is best known for his artist name Aquasixio and his surreal fantasy art works emphasize the emotional aspects of humans and all the color spectrum of life.
There are surreal, fantastic pictures that show the way nature and human life intertwine in a metaphorical way. Fantasy is everywhere in his works, but fantasy is just the medium through which we are presented with the simplest and at the same time, most complex human emotions. They are exaggerated, if you want, to prove to us that emotions are all we have and all we deal with all our lives.
Love, hope, the unknown, art as a way of flooding a room with meaning are some of the themes the artist tackles in his works. Life is now and dreams are important. Our hearts are like accordions which should be played with carefully and our freest dance can be in chains without us even realising that. It is all written in his works. You just have to watch his works and listen.
“I like the absurdity, the creativity and the enchanting universes, where colours bring more emotions than thousands smiles or million tears”, says the artist. “Tim Burton and Hayao Miyazaki are both the roots of my own world. I like the surrealism movement, especially the work of Boris Vian and his ‘Foam of the Daze’ (L’Ecume des jours)”, states Rolando on his DeviantArt profile.
We say his works of art are a world in itself and one should walk carefully and with an open mind and heart in it. More info: Deviantart | Facebook
Why don’t you meet me halfway
Please show me some love
All of my life’s studies
I miss you so
Hoping
Don’t forget to focus on yourself
Is that calypso?
Let’s go to the unknown
Painting as a doorway
You belong with me
Never giving up on us
Hurry, don’t be late
Dandelions – surreal fantasy art at it’s best
I love this painting especially
This one is called after the rain
Be part of nature
don’t cry for me
Chained
Tree of life
Clock stops for no one
Un-free
Money does grow on trees
Fire in the air
The long walk
Everything is connected
Music can change the world
Thoughts
Doing my own thing
Patience my friends
Licking the sun
Music can hurt
Shooting stars
Whales on wheels
Window to the world
Next generation
You can use what you’ve got to make things happen
Sometimes the road is long and hard
So high
Won’t stop raining
Peaceful
There’s enough for everyone
Go after it
Dreaming
You can create your reality
Late to the party
Have a big imagination
don’t wait until you melt
Take care of the world
Find love in everything
Never give up on your dreams
Ride life
Things are not always as they seem
Make it through the storm
