Hi All
Have a look at this for an eye opener.I think i'll take up stamp collecting or some other hobby!!!!! Believe it or not ,but i had to reduce the original picture so it would fit on this thread.

Sweet Lord Jesus... Diego takes painting skills to another dimension I believe...one of the best works I have ever seen.

This is incredible. The enlarged version shows great quality in your painting, I do not know who makes this bust.

Cheers

I have seen Diego's work up front and thought that he can't go any higher. Obviously, I was wrong!!!!

That's a great work.
I observed his work in euro last year.
I was shocked at that time.
It seems to be a work of a god!

What a stunner. I mean what do you say to such beauty! Is this completely scratch, or did he start with the Pagan Art Landsknecht bust? Thanks for sharing this one!

It is nice, but that rag covering the eye just does not look right to me. ~Gary

Brian, If you go collect stamps, what should i do.
And this incredible painting is done with two large hands.
This is the darkside of painting figures.. Diego Ruina has sold his soul to the devill on the crossroads. No doubt about that. This is not from this Planet.
Otherwise, he had lesson from a russian from St Petersburg.
Diego Ruina, i think we have some large conversation in Antwerp.

Truly outstanding! Another reason for me to continue with aircraft or maybe stamp collecting! What figure is this?

 

[EasyOff]

Perfection.... I can die now.

When we talk for one of the best painters of the world there are no limits,,,long live Diego and keep painting

Truely inspiring. This bust seems to me perfectly painted, there's nothing to do but sit back, admire and be inspired.

The superlatives needed to adequately

Magnificent piece of art! My congratulations to Diego!

At the time I begane with figures, I tryed to do better than the boxart, and sometimes I realy succeeded, but if I would buy this one (if released), I would have lots of fun with it, but I'm sure it would stay by trying...

If released, it would be nice if it could be painted with or without the rag on his eye, just my idea,
