No but I saw some cool variations on the Ouroboros symbol that I found inspiring and made me think to do this. One of the pieces for example was a skull and spine and the spine circled round to make the symbol. This is like a macabre ouroboros meets kaleidoscopes π

Lol, maybe learn the meaning of "nitpicking", but you're right - it's an excellent picture of a bicycle.

appreciate the art and move the fuck on. no one gives a fuck what he titles his artwork. and u have no right to dictate him on the same
wulfgold t1_j2cxlty wrote
Obviously,someone does care - how do you know "artist" is a "he"?
"That last sentence... "and u have no right to dictate him on the same"?
Missed the dictatorial part, did ask a question.
What is that even supposed to mean? I don't mean to "nit pick"... actually, I do - what are you trying to say? Just mash keyboard? Are you having a stroke?
Dictatorial versus questioning?
You seem a lot angrier than an idle comment online should make you...

kaleidoscope would probably have been a better title . I like it though.

I'd rename this. It's not an Ouroboros and people are going to be too distracted by its bad title to appreciate the art you made.
LittleLachrymose OP t1_j2dp2yv wrote
Your right but I named another painting Kaleidoscope a couple of weeks ago. Then when I finished this one I said I think I've used that title too soon. I wont use the same title twice in the same year its my rule to help me organise paintings I've done. But when I looked at it the word Ouroboros wouldn't go away and I felt it was meant to be.

So? Itβs what he named his work, itβs not supposed to be a description

The word Ouroboros is Greek in origin and literally translates to "tail-devourer". The symbol the Greek word gives a name to is older than the Greek word for it and represents the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. Where the snake eats its tail the body begins again at the head and so on, infinitum.
I trust you were inspired by the ancient symbol, but there is nothing here devouring any tails nor is there a representation of rebirth as far as I can tell.

Not gonna lie, I see vaginas. A life and death piece (to me at least) very nice.

I genuinely like the art piece and your use of color. However, it did leave me a bit confused after attempting to discover hidden references to Ouroboros and the associated mythology, which distracted me from the actual art.

Thanks ππ and thanks for taking a look!!

The original is in my etsy store linked in my profile but I don't have prints made of it yet! Thanks for taking the time to take a look ππ
LittleLachrymose OP t1_j2epmh1 wrote
Yeah I was worried someone would see that because I saw that too π but like you said life and death, it fits in with the theme! Thanks for taking a look!
