"The Encounter" - safe for work?
Nudity has been [depicted in art](https://steemit.com/art/@reinhard-schmid/making-of-grande-venusmachine-tribute-to-an-old-master) of all centuries and so the question comes up regularly, if such pictures are "safe for work" or not, particularly when the situation shown is rather... surreal...

![begegnung-1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfS3WDDpt4zXyinxydDViAnGYb2iBc15qP8LPcjznYgRs/begegnung-1.jpg)

Based on a painting from back in the 90s I made a digital version some 15 years ago.

Facebook for instance is quite nasty when it comes to showing a female nipple, and one always has to cover up the "forbidden fruit"...

Thank god or the nsfw tag here on steemit, so everyone can decide for him/herself, what they find safe to look at &#128526;

@nyarlathotep · 
Impressing painting, and really psychedelic. You could run this through google's Deep Dream, just to see what result it would give. 

Personally, I just viewed your post while at.. work! Me, I am not offended by such images, but not all people share the same standards. I don't know what some of my colleagues might think about this, as there are those that may draw totally wrong conclusions about *me* if they catch me viewing "nudes"!

Anyway, good work, keep them coming!

Thanks a lot for suggesting Deep Dream, I really have to try that.

You must have a great job!

Beautiful, the colors, the curves. I hate that art has to be censored, art is beauty and that is that.
Love your work!

Well, to me its pretty absurd, what is "safe to view" and what isn't. The most natural thing is censored, while blood and violence is omnipresent.. Thank you for liking my work :-)

Just went through http://steemit.pics/IMGManager/view.php?username=artedellavita&N=1 gosh, there is such a wealth of beauty and good taste. I added you to my (self made) "super follow" thingy... just a folder with the links to my absolutely most favorite steemians. And I need a day off, to explore your blog!

The world in general needs to get over seeing breasts. Most of europe has, of course. I liked your painting, the surreal is sometimes just what I need to unspool my mind and just observe.

I really like the way you turned this piece around, at first i was thinking it's traditional, After that i saw the tags. I guess the noise did the work?
