So, riddle me this, the "intricately textured and layered back drop that was inspired by a dream" on the print 1xrun.com/runs/Studio_Di_Un_Uomo/ 

is remarkably similar to this painting (and flipped around obviously) - www.nicolasamori.com/fegefeuer/6-4/

The middle one of the top 3 in this post looks like one of Samori's works as well.

 Hey there, thank you for your comment.  the background layer for this piece was definitely inspired by samoris piece as well. when i first came across his work a few years ago i wasnt aware he was a working artist i was under the impressions he manipulated old paintings graphically as i came across it through a deviant art page that i later found out was just reposted by someone. the reason being is a lot of his paintings are retakes on old jusepe de ribera pieces heres a couple examples

and so forth, anyways my point being, at the time i wasn't aware he was a working artist. i then took inspiration from his pieces and repurposed them the same way he repurposed the jusepe pieces. later finding out he is in fact a wonderful painter and currently active artist ive refrained from doing so in newer works, while he still is a large inspiration to my work as are old masters like jusepe and caravaggio etc. as i grow as an artist and person i am finding my own lane and style, while i still openly admit i take many inspirations from my favorite artist and kindve blend them into a pot the way a music producer would sample an old record and make it into a new song. as i progress as an artist (im currently 24 and was 21 when i painted the pieces listed above) im striving to make them more of my own and finding my own paths.

apologies to anyone who was taken back by the comparisons, hopefully i shed a bit of light on the situation, while still i admit my faults in not directly stating them from the beginning. growing and learning a bit each day!
