Typical...
Typical of Roger Dean's always beautiful, captivating, thought- provoking, and ultimately pleasing artwork.

Wow! As a new art student trying to get to grips with the meaning of art. Roger Dean's work is a pleasantly mind-blowing breath of fresh air.

Luiz Gustavo Grandi Massola says:
I feel alive stearing to this picture... sorry about my english... I´m from Brazil.

Rico Suave says:
Since becoming familiar with Rogers' work in Yes album covers, I have learned of the limitless spectrum of the human imagination. This is a superb example of a gifted ability to translate the surreal into something tangent, and not just a brilliant glimpse of a moment, or perhaps, a dream.

Joseph Morse says:
I'm just looking at this picture for the first time and I have to confess that I'm utterly amazed. Roger's work never ceases to impress me. Each time I see work of his that's new to me I'm never disappointed. Thank you.

La realidad que algunos deseamos la tienes tu en tus manos.

Kevin Charles Colburn says:
When I look at this piece I keep getting the image of A city where angels or mythical Gods would live. Majestic!

ALEJANDRA LLANQUIN - CHILE says:
ESTA PINTURA ME HACE VIAJAR A UNA DIMENSION EXISTENTE EN MI INTERIOR...DONDE TODOS LOS SUENOS SE HACEN REALIDAD...ESPERO QUE ALGUN DIA MIS OJOS ENCUENTREN SU INMENSIDAD EN ESTE PARAISO...

This beautiful painting is among of my favourite. I have this back then when I first knew the internet. This painting, along with 4 others, was my first online order. Yes Magazine had Dean's posters in its catalogue.
From all of my Dean's framed paintings, Freyja's Castle has all the beauty that fits the walls in my house (btw, my house is not very big). Just looking at this picture you can imagine watching the castle from a distance. You can imagine like standing in the forest on the top of the hill, admiring that castle. Something like a scene in Gone With The Wind.
The colours are superb. The way Dean placed the dark colours of the trees really gives the expression about the distance between you and the castle. The lighting is perfect. The sun seemed perfectly shines. Not too dark on the place you're standing, while the sun was starting to set on the castle.
The castle itself has cool colours. It was blue alright, but the tone was absolutely appropriate. Not too light, but still you can tell that the castle might be made of pure blue rocks (blue jade?).
This picture fits perfectly on my living room and my guests always asked where did I get this and admired its beauty.

Michael Falco says:
This painting for me represents a blend of beauty, mystic, cool refreshing tranquility, lonelyness, high evolvement yet incompletness. Roger Dean is my favorite artist. Freyja's Castle, expresses much of my essence visually. When I compose and play music, I often have visual images in a world akin to Roger's.

Jasper Joppe Geers says:
Well howboutthispaintinghuh? To me this is a true example of Deans work during the 90's. A dark color on the front, bright colors for the actual image, and a blend on the background. I believe this painting was done to celebrate the daughter of Roger, called Freya... Wat a lucky kid she must be... However, in an interview with Kai Krause a couple of Years ago in Yes Magazine he told about Freya playing soccer in the house, while a lot of well-known Roger Dean Images are just hanging there... Can you Imagine the Keys Image with a beautiful stamp of a soccer ball? Hope she never played base-ball... However, I must confess that this painting is not the most favourite of mine. It is a beautiful image but the warrior in the middle makes it a strange image to me. The Architectual elements reminds me of the Asia Alpha Image, another world-famous painting. On the whole for me this is one of the better jobs he has done, but not the best...

Katie says:
Wasn't Freyja a Norse Goddess?
I like this picture because it combines a surreal 'ice palace' in the background, with a familiar tree in the foreground. Roger Dean has inspired me with my own fantasy artwork for A level, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him. Keep up the good work!

samantha monteiro says:
a picture for you

Yanuly Sanson says:
Perfect, it has the same "blue quality" as Blue Desert. The warrior figure and the tiny walkers in the distance pins it down to earth. Had I the resources I would ask Roger to build me a tower-city like the that.

Perry Thomson says:
A few years ago I was in an art/poster store and I asked the clerk if he had any Roger Dean work. He laughed and told me I was twenty years too late. (Oh well, just another uninformed, sociopathic store-keeper.) That set me on my mission to collect as many as my walls would bear. I'm still collecting Rogers' work and am pleased to see some of it here. Thanks Again!
