a painting of a woman on the beach holding an umbrella with birds flying above her
Paul Bond: highly skilled technically but I do not enjoy Surrealist paintings very often which would be why this doesn't work for me. It seems forced and leaves me with that awful "so what?" feeling.
an image of a castle with balloons floating in the air and birds flying around it
Digital Artworks By Catrin Welz - OZONWeb by OZON Magazine
Digital Artworks By Catrin Welz. I am not a fan of this type of fantasty subject matter and I tend to be very critical of digital art. I feel it is fairly new unexplored territory so the boundaries need to be pushed and more risks need to be taken.

Untitled
Creepy, but the contrast between the mask and the girls pose and body is interesting. The background/setting adds a layer of horror too. Overall I think this is a successful image as it creates a geat deal of discomfort on many different levels: is it just a halloween mask... has someone made her wear this...did she make it?

Mihai Dascalu: this painting has some very charming aspects but it also feels a bit too Christmas-postcardy.

SHOBOSHOBO - OZONWeb by OZON Magazine
shoboshobo: I prefer some of his other work, mostly his drawings. These particular heads do not seem to carry the same level of tongue-in-cheek humour that his other bizarre characters have.

Ceramic Face Wall Sculpture - Etsy
ceramic sculpture- I find this crudely made and very disturbing.
a painting of a woman in the water holding a fish and a crystal ball with a castle on it
Lesta Frank: This is too cheesy for me. I dislike the "hippy" vibes.
an abstract painting with many different colors and designs on it, including angels in the sky
Jose Acosta: I enjoy the crazy mash up of colour and his use of decorative mark making, but the overall piece does not feel cohesive which I suppose is his intention. It just doesn't work for me personally as I find it extremely busy, confusing, garish and disruptive.

I dislike the colour palette, the composition and the overall feel of the artwork. The wings and strange symbolism is confusing, but I am not even interested to try find meaning.
