enter image description here

I would like to thank again all the participants of Artquests! Guys, thank you very much for your being with me. You are fantastic and I love you all, your talent and intelligence! Every your entry warms my heart!

Today we have a little anniversary. It is the 15th Artchallenge and I decided to increase Reward Pool up to 30 SBD.

And as I wrote I have a surprise for you. This week for the second time we will interpret the artwork of a really talented artist and a fantastic person @paolobeneforti. The judges will be @paolobeneforti himself and his wonderful wife @silviabeneforti. It is a quite a challenge to be judged by the artist himself and his soulmate. Good luck, everyone!

THEME FOR ARTCHALLENGE #15 will be a surreal sculpture of @paolobeneforti
This puzzle head kinda coincides with this contest as when I was thinking about the name for it, in addition to "artquest" I also had "artpuzzle" in mind.

LET US UNPUZZLE THIS PUZZLE- HEAD!

First of all, I would really like to thank artquest-trail and paolobeneforti for this opportunity. I think this kind of activities not only spread the artist's works but also give others the opportunity to create their art pieces! Blessing to both of you. Here is my entry:

The TEACHINGS of the Puzzeled HEAD

I am looking and looking at your wonderful head.

I am trying and trying to understand what is in your, dear man.

My mind is in a twist and you are puzzling me

And what am I finding that you are like a Sea.

The Sea which is taking me far off the shore

The Sea which you always want to explore

The Sea which always exists with no end

The Sea making me extend and extend…

So I thank you, my dear puzzled head

You brought new inspiration and have lead me ahead

Out of worries of the real world to the beauty blossoming in me

The results of which you can now see

I love it))) sometimes I have the same feelings when I look at my husband's head)))

It is worth a separate post and extra money can be earned))

Thank you%) Heh, you should be very happy seeing his masterpieces first hand then%)) I am very new here so I just did not think it can work as a separate post - thank you for an advice and much love🌸♥️🌸

@aksinya, I'm already noticing some very strong entries so far...so don't be surprised to see me have 3 attempts at this one (as I think I need it!)

Entry#1

I'm going to go 'nuclear' here and go completely against the flow (so to speak!)

Everyone so far has been talking about the jigsaw being a representation of a persons memories. I see it slightly differently though. This is a person who no longer has any! He is but a shell of the man that used to be and is sad, hence the blueness of his distant face!

I think he's been meddled with/institutionalised. Fed an endless stream of drugs and medication. Soon he will be all blue, once the remaining pockets of colour (what's left of his consciousness disappear!)

I like! and It is worth a post. Extra money can be earned))

Awesome idea! Here is my entry! please follow me too :) I will write posts about museums and cultural places. :)

Letters create words and words become ideas,
written symbols with sentiments and the search of love of a woman.
Her nude torso in his mind,
the tender breast that he always dreams about.
Open eyes and open mouth, waiting for a kiss perhaps...
his ears seem to be also attentive, listening to the unconscious
He is awake or maybe he is sleep. The puzzle is complete, the pieces fit.
But can the pieces move and create another road?
Perhaps she is the only missing piece in his mind.

Fantastic! Thank you!

Here is my entry

The puzzled head, a genius mind
always gentle, always kind
but sharp
colorful like the sound of harp
strong but soft like the leave of a rose
when you come up close
you see the ideas never end
the puzzled head is the thinker´s friend
its full of new beginnings
questions and learnings
It´s an endless quest
You don´t need a dime
Just invest your time
and you will find the best
version you can be
you will be rich, you´ll see

@sumsum awesome entry!

I'm going to follow you to see if I can delve into your mind further and get some inspiration of my own!! Well done!!

thank you mr bambo. following you too.

LOL! You're a cheeky one!

fantastic as always!

honored to be the author again :) thx!

Paolo, first of all, what a wonderful sculpture, I inspires me with fields and waves of colors, very fun.

At first glance I see a blueish surprised human face.
Through the eyes a lot of deep feelings are revealed.
He looks as like he has lived through many moments.
All sorts of different experiences shine from his eyes over the rest of his face.
Moment in time, different creatures in all sorts of colors.
Naked women, birds flying, rippling ocean waves.
This man is puzzled with the different pieces of life.
A startled mouth with dragon skin lips, A B C.
Destructive feelings and good feelings.
I believe all the puzzle pieces are different experiences whom create this human to what he is?

I wish you the best, peace!

great! thank you!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful art with us all. I speak from the heart when I say it is very inspiring and brings me into a space and time of rest. Art is wonderful!

It is worth a post. Extra money can be earned))

@artquest-trail, an extra post I made on my blog with the #artchallenge :)

Good luck to all the contestants!

Interesting challenge, is this a sculpture or a painting? It looks so 3D! Is your medium digital or traditional, so many questions sorry, lol. Either way well done! @paolobeneforti

@juliakponsford, it is a polychrome clay statue

Ahhh interesting, thanks!
