Another inspiration artist was Caspar David Friedrich , author of Wanderer above the Sea of Fog , a painting where we can see an individual ( apparently identified as the painter ) portrayed backwards playing in the third person the role of spectator within his own scene . In it , an imposing view of nature opens up to him . In one of my own paintings " Holographic Principle " there is a direct reference to me as an author when I ´ m self-portrayed in one of my landscapes . Located in front of my workshop and lying on the roof of the house next door , my gaze is directed towards the sky , which opens onto a distant light . It symbolizes the uncertainty about the distant space linked to my mind , associated with a feeling and desire to escape from my immediate reality and rise to the unknown .
Somehow , this painting in 360 view where I ´ m self-portrayed , acts as an exercise to reinterpret the painting Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich .
