― Friedrich Nietzsche
When I opened Facebook today, a memory reminder from one year ago popped up, with the unfinished piece. I had forgotten about it, but just at that time a year ago I decided to finish it. That was last December. After photographing it I rolled it up again. The finished piece was never published, until today. Now it is in my Flickr albums - you can see it HERE in high resolution.
graphite drawing 2017 to 2020 - 100 x 59 cm
philosophy based on the Apollonian-Dionysian Principle of Nietsche

This Appolonian-Dionysian Principle has influenced a lot of my work, which differentiates it from classical Surrealism. The title is a tongue-in-cheek comment on Sacred Geometry.
The piece was started in 2017, when I was at the Pigmalion Artist Colony in Serbia, after I completed the large drawing of EROS THANATOS II.
There are a number of links to this event in Serbia, posted on the old Steemit platform - I tried to access them on Hive, but not all of them from that long ago worked.

MY INTRODUCTION - ABOUT MY WORK
should you not be on the blockchain, or have no upvote power, or this post is already older than 7 days, you can always just buy me a coffee.
I hope you are well @thermoplastic and I love that when we are reminded of pieces still in process. I'm always digging through my files or back log or even scrolling through half done digital things and it will spark off a new adventure with a piece.
I use quite a few of these, and like you, also work on them digitally, which I find use for in some of my merchandise applications. A bit of self-promotion here: My Art Of Where Store - this platform I can recommend, it is free to join and create on there, the stuff is produced mostly locally in Montreal, Canada.
I always love your Decalomania. such wonderful textures x
thank you - this stuff, since on paper, ist mostly frottage, but also transferring textures onto a blackened surface (B8 pencil or graphite stick) with a kneaded eraser. Decalcomania on the other hand would be thin paint manipulated in various ways, like dipping a sheet of glass onto it.
