I am tired of seeing Strop's uninspired gibberish he likes to call art being praised. So I am going to show you what real art is through the eyes of a master. Due to the face that you people aren't of a caliber as high as mine, I will be explaining all my art to you as I go along. Hope you enjoy. This first one is an accumulation of 19 layers and surprisingly a lot of work.
I call it 'Hidden Faces & Crux of Internet'
This picture is depicting the simple innocence of a young man reaching out for help to an older, father-life figure. The simplistic faces are just guises that the users wear as to hide their true selfs which are portrayed by the bodily figures. The eldest man with the beard, being the experiences user of the internet is fully garbed. This is to show that he has learned the tricks of the trade and has successfully concealed himself and is not subject to the prowess of the internet anymore, but it is a reflection on his fears to let his true feelings be seen by the eyes of the judgmental world. Children surround this elder figure, as to show his following. He has lured many younger users of the internet into his red robe, which is to be seen as his wisdom that stretches throughout his sphere of influence on the internet. These children can be seen as his very young and inexperienced apprentices. But the old man is not satisfied and does not see the justice in these children, or the conviction to become what he is now: a hermit of the web, as seen by the beard. But this man sees the new being, sitting alone on the green pedestal. The green symbolizes nature, and the natural sense given off the boy, as if not tampered by man yet, also layered to mean that he has not been tampered by the scum of the internet(goatse, 4chan, etc.). His naked appearance is to contrast the old mans shelter to this boy, who is nude and is really naive, revealing himself to the old man, really unprotected and allowing anyone to come and judge him. The old man feels a sense of camaraderie with this boy, maybe because he was once young and let himself open. They reach out for each other. Because there is a mutual need. The young boy in search of an idol, a teacher, to teach him the ways of the internet. Whereas the old man needs a successor he can be proud of in life. This need overwhelms them as they try and connect to each other, probably through p2p. But they do not touch, there is a barrier between them. The computers that they speak on can only do so much and they must take off those simplistic masks that hide their true selves so that they can meet in the real world, and until those barriers are gone they will never really be able to touch. As for the children, some are angry and some are happy. The happy are glad to see their master find someone true and they truly seek their master's happiness, where as the other boys, who represent wrath and greed want the master for themselves and see the threat in this new apprentice. All in all, the barriers which block the transfer of wisdom from master to apprentice are materialized through the internet and computers, where true face to face talking is not possible, and this has caused a break in the sequence of life where knowledge transfer is at a standstill, creating disorder in our world.
I have a few other explanations but this is my main one.
Hope you enjoy it! =)

Without further ado, I give you the picture that trumps my last one because it has 21 layers instead of 19.
I call it 'Delusions of a Physical & Mental Trap'
This picture has a lot of meaning to me. The first striking thing about the picture is the positioning of her hands. As you can see she lays one over another on her lap, giving her a very conservative look, he long flowing robe also points to the idea that she is not very open to the world, and hides herself, shamed of what she might truly be. But the smile on her face is charming and deceiving. Her face and her cleavage mark the idea that she is in fact a very loose woman and seducing woman, but her posture and clothing contradict this, as if she is in a state of mental anguish, not knowing who she really is, like she is two people. But that is because she is.
That is because she is the embodiment of a trap, also known as a shemale. You will notice the background, which plays of great importance to the scene. The overarching sky, and the entire world in general is very nice and bright on her right side, stating her womanly side: the beauty of the world, her ease with herself and everyone knowing she is a girl. But you can see the sky quickly darkens creating a diagonal slash of darkness behind her head, as if half of her brain is predisposed to this kind and gentle side, whereas the other half is her dark side. This can be seen through the nature being of a darker color palette on the left.
The winding road on the left of her as you can see stays within the left realm of the portrait, he dark grueling manly side. The road attempts to lead to the left, as if she is on this path trying to become who she wants to be, or is attempting to be: a woman. But her path is blocked by mountains. These mountains signify her struggles in life in being a woman, including but not limited to her penis. These mountains are sharp and jagged, and cannot be traversed by her. Therefore the only solution would be to level the mountain, or in a sense surgically remove her penis, which would create a path into the world she so vigorously wants to enter.
But at the same time as she wants to be a woman, her smile shows an acceptance to who she is. This stems from the side of her brain that DOES want to be a male. This creates a tension inside of herself and she is not only physically plighted, but mentally as well. This woman has made attempts at a normal life, but has come to fail again and again. After thoroughly analyzing this image that the dress is not just a tool in the conservative manors of her living, but they are there to hide her shame of who she is and the scars of broken relationships.
But from all this her smile turns from a trap to lure men in to her clasp, into a sign of acceptance, or the unison of both sides of her mind. But that works in play with her eyes. As you can see, no matter what angle you look from or from where, her eyes will never look at you. They look past you. Her final acceptance of this truth of herself has caused a social inadequacy that she cannot escape. Her confirmation with herself has created a responsibility within herself to accept the idea that she is right for no one, which derives from the idea that she does no look at anyone, she looks right past them.
Now once all of this is understood, you can see the correlation between this and the positioning of her hands. Since she cannot rely on another human being for not only social pleasure such as conversations, but sexual as well. She is an outcast with no partner who must remained shunned. Her right hand clasps the left, as if guarding it. He final remain of any pleasure. She finds solace in it and caresses the hand that brings her joy. For she knows that no matter the conflict in her head, or in real life, it will always be there for her, and she will always love herself. Which is all she needs;
so she smiles.
