28 x 22 inches (71 x 56 cm) - acrylic on wood - 1990} --- Of course there is a background story to this - it is my Inner Alternate Universe, and I explained it when I first held an exhibition decades ago with the title [Bogomil's Universe](https://www.artofthemystic.com/bogomils-universe.html) ◄ click this link to read about it on my website.

--- ^{Bogomil's Universe later on experienced a sort of expansion, with a new series taking shape, called "Fomorii" - and later on, a discussion ensued on Facebook among my artist group, where the word "infernal" was mentioned, and I jokingly said that the opposite of infernal would then be "fernal" (as in: *insane - sane*). From this debate came the concept and several international exhibitions ensued called "Garden of Fernal Delights".} I mention this because at one point around this time I wanted to publish a series of short stories that would take place in such a imaginary universe, and my stories (as yet unfinished) incorporated my earlier "Bogomil's Universe" with my concept of the "Fomorii". One such story I published on Steemit 2 years ago: [✍️ GARDEN OF FERNAL DELIGHTS - Otto’s Dream](https://steemit.com/writing/@thermoplastic/garden-of-fernal-delights-otto-s-dream)

^{Images like this (which is a detail from a more recent painting) are a natural progression from these earlier concepts. The technique I used is called *Decalcomania*, which I adapted to acrylic painting.} --- [![ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP-web350.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVzmXv6ZomA2G8wHhPtcwe8rmA3Kun2vFMFxufUPRK6ww/ART%20OF%20THE%20MYSTIC%20OTTO%20RAPP-web350.jpg)](https://www.artofthemystic.com/)
