Abandoned Place

On my birthday in 1993 I made this. A quiet, deserted scene built around reflections and marble-like textures, where the polished floor becomes as important as the objects standing on it.

My very first work with the winning pair of Amiga 4000 and Imagine 2.0 — an abundant use of high-resolution brushes (800×600 pixels!) with reflections and refractions galore. Note the purity of the water and of the reflection on the ground... Years later, I think that even though this image was a test, an experiment, it has a coherence of its own and can be seen as one of my first true “works”.
