Well, my art^Wwork^Wpictorial babbling is not evolved enough yet for such subtleties, I'm afraid. I prefer hidden messages in my prose so far.

But you've raised my curiosity. Do you have any examples? Laugh if you want but I totally ignored that.

la primavera from botticelli is all about the cities of italia
it is very complex too long to explain here but it is fascinating
the venus of titian everything means something, like the little dog
fruit, flowers, it was all codes, even in victorian times, red roses were passion and hot love

and yes i know you have a way with words, veiled sometimes, tantalizing us with hidden meanings

Thank you very much for the examples. I guess those hidden symbols are easy to recognize to the discerning eye or the educated artist.

thanks for sharing and playing along with Polly's polls

A few of my personal artworks contain hidden messages....I guess it's our artistic way to express our feelings and emotions at that very moment

!!! When I do commissions then there is not much room for real self expression, allthough when finsihed some show through
