A surreal and colourful fantasy oil painting of two figures that have left their footprints in the sand and stopped to stare upon a huge morphological structure which casts a deep reflection on the calm surface of the sea which appears to be floating above the sand of the foreshore.

The 'Atropos' is the fate that cuts through the thread of life. It has the ability to elude all of the senses and can only be imagined from an 'Aniconical' and imaginative viewpoint.

It needs the imagination of an artist.

The picture was painted with the application of thin translucent glazes of oil paint which allows the reflective qualities of the lead white painted canvas to show through the translucent paint layers with glowing effect.
