Artist's Statement

I have always found the interiors of gothic style cathedrals absolutely fascinating, both in beauty and the architecture. Though, this style of church architecture have interiors that are always a bit darker than I prefer. This is what this church would look and feel like in my fantasy world. A giant chamber of typical gothic structures, but greatly illuminated as though one had just beat a great boss in a video/PC game and lifted the dark curse from the land, the hero being rewarded a great prize in a giant church, again lit by natural light. Speaking of video games, this piece reminds me of the game Zelda: Ocarina of Time..

St. Mary's church, this French Gothic cathedral in the North German city of Lübeck, was built using brick. It became a model for many other French Gothic cathedrals built with bricks in the Baltic region. St. Mary's church was built between 1260 and 1350, but it was totally destroyed in 1942 during WWII. It was restored in 1958.

It was quite difficult, or perhaps annoying, to get this piece to look the way I wanted it to on my laptop's LCD.. It looked a great deal different from whichever angle I was viewing my monitor. However, I believe I finally got it how I'd like it to be. Those of you with CRT's, let me know how it looks!
