What do you think of this painting? [I'm Affectionate]

All colours are complimentary . Needs other colours to establish a stronger contrast. The female head and corner of the slab are aligned creating a strong focal point. That takes away from the rest of the painting. The focal point shouldn’t be either of the heads. Surrealism is not easy but once learned, those are the best works of art

Either it's beyond my imagination, or the painter doesn't have something good to imagine.
It actually appears to be a fresco from Roman times around when you said it was.
@LamontCranston @GodsSecretAccount i actually meant to say it looks like a picture of a mosaic.

It’s like we all wear a mask to hide who we really are and the side we don’t show to people is our real identity

Probably based on something that really happened...yikes

@Human1000 I thought this was Asian art. My apologies.
Human1000 · M
@Iwillwait Not at all.. Asian masks look similar!
It's well done, but I wouldn't hang it anywhere in my house.

@Human1000 Wow. Interesting to see what they considered comedy and tragedy for I agree with them! :o

@GodsSecretAccount They had incredible graffiti too...some of it very vulgar.
