Please Don't Leave Your Head Behind, Take it With You

Please Don't Leave Your Head Behind, Take it With You - Mitro 36" by 48" $2,000,000

Don't leave your head is about the fact that although we might dance through our lives in complete ignorance of our true spiritual nature, as mind creates reality only through our thoughts we cannot leave our head behind it is forever and irrevocably attached to our reality.

This is truly an illusionistic painting.
By this I mean the image in the painting changes whenever the viewer changes their distance from the canvas or the angle they are viewing the painting from, even the height on the wall they view the painting at.
The basic painting is a man' s head separated from his torso in his hurry in life to get where he is going.
The head is tethered to the body with a fine string and encased in a balloon.
The head can be seen as a chipmunk head, a sugar glider head (viewed forward), or of a Frenchman with a beret on or a Arabic man wearing a Keffiyeh (viewed backward)
The body can be seen as running with a tray, or from a different viewing perspective, as dancing.
From another perspective you can also see the body turn into a dancing Tasmanian Devil. Taz
When the size of the picture is shrunk small the leaf in the right top becomes 3D.
The symbol Om can be seen clearly in the head
Truly a very cool painting, if I do say so myself. And I do,smile
