Dreams can really come true?by *Iardacil

Dreams can really come true?

We are dreamers by our nature.. We are full of hope and wanders and we refuse to give up. We believe there is always a light to shine on us, to guide us on and no matter the darkness, no matter the pain.. there is always a bright dawn that will end the endless night.

We know that the world is full of evil and hate. We know that no matter how much we care, people dare to us leave us... they hurt us.. say things that leaves scars to our souls but still.. we do not give up. We still have that inner light burning deep inside our soul that tells us.. whispers us.. even on the most desperate and solemn hours that tomorrow may be a better day..

We all have our own hope.. Some dream of love.. Some dream of fortune.. Other of bright future.. Some just wish to have a roof over their head and food on their table. But life is never easy or simple.. and all our dreams get shattered all around.. broken like glass into million pieces.. and it seems like the hope inside us is never enough.. the world just seems to spin against us.. Like the world and others want to prove us.. the hope is not worth it.. our dreams are just illusions and dreams remain dreams.. never coming true.

What I wanted to portray on the image is hope.. hope that sometimes those simple or more complex dreams can come true.. and if we believe enough.. everything is possible.. The light inside us is proof enough that dreams are worth it.. No matter what other say.. We have to believe in ourselves. I wanted to show a moment of magic.. moment of hope. I wanted to have that kind of fairytale in the air.. as in fairytales, there are always happy endings..

I wanted to create something what would look like painting. I wanted to have the fairytale in the atmosphere but not use too much elements or words. I wanted to be simple but much-saying. I know, the idea itself is quite contraversal. This image was hard one as usually I have very clear story before I start a work but this time.. when I looked on the model stock, I knew what I would want it to be.. the inspiration come from stock and the story had to be created with the image.. I tried to write it quite many times.. to explain what I meant with the image.. until I hit the nail and realized that it was my dream.. my fairytale that I portrayed. I want to believe in me.. and happy endings

Took almost two weeks on working on it.. Over 100 layers.. feels like good old times..
