You know what Jude, you are right, she does look like LMP, maybe she broke his heart. This painting has a significance that is for sure, but what? I cannot pin point what the story is. I know for sure it is a broken heart. usually mice go in hidding, so did Michael, go into hidding. There is a similarity. I hope someone who knows about painting can tell us the meaning of it.
Sorry for mistakes
With love.
You make sense. Mouse means pitty, scared. I do not understand why he painted Michael as a mouse.
I checked the meaning what the mouse symbolizes this is what I found:
Back in the medieval moments, the mouse was a symbol of bad luck, and terrible crops. In China, mouse stood for sly, cunning, and intelligent.
What do you think?
Agreed whisper9396... I don't like this picture at all.....very unpleasant too look at.
The mouse is small and vulnerable to show the condition we often find ourselves in, as we traverse the maze. A major objective of the life experience seems to involve the overcoming of fears. We face them and hopefully defeat them all the time.
The mice are probably symbols for pests of your thoughts. They represent negative behaviors and memories from your past that you haven't dealt with.
I've seen at least 2 other paintings with the number 7 in it as well! <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

I hope you won't beat me <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: --> if I tell that LMP never was pleasant to me (a heavy look, the heavy chin, the compressed lips). The appearance is a mirror of the soul. Probably, if this artist has represented LMP in the form of the mouse, I would react to a picture differently. <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I hope my thoughts are clear for you.

I have been surprised, when have seen Russian words in picture. However, it also has words on English and Chinese (probably) in last picture. The sense of words in Russian and English is approximately identical. There are a lot of Masonic symbolics on the picture . <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

Oh my God, why would I beat you for your opinion, actually I thank you for clarifing it to me. I hate that painting, why did this painter painted that portrait. LMP is not the prettiest woman alive, but she is ok in my book. I think their breakup is more than meets the eye. Something big had happened. I cannot put my finger.
Blessings and love
as well as telling a "Story".
The essential question would be, how well did the artist know Michael Jackson, or how close was this aritst to Michael,enough to practically look deep into Michae's "heart break" and suffering as the "Jilted " husband or lover of LMP.
Personally, I look at this painting as "tabloid Trash" , the same as any reporter would venture out to create a "sensationalized "
story, to talk about things they do not know anything about.
Pure fabrication IMO
I do not believe for a sec. that Mike was hurting that badly over LMP..cause, I am almost sure, if had wanted her that badly , he could have gotten her back anytime ,
had she been Michael's everlasting "love' I am sure he would have found a way and married her twice , the same as Elizabeth and Richard tied knots twice, cause they really really did love each other.
According to reports and the way she even told the story after she "left" Mike, she was still so obsessed with him,
so that makes me , believe, LMP was begging Mike to take her back, including promising to have any number of babies he wished to have.
But ..MJ..would not take her back , while remaining friends with her, like the gentleman he was,
...but she went around bashing Mike, every time she opened her mouth, cause she could not have it her way...to have Mike take her back.
So this artist ,IMO..is way off , if he is trying to tell the story as fact.
Maybe , the painting reflects the artist's Fantasy..
about how,.that the daughter of King Elvis would break the "FREAK " Michael J. KOP, heart.??
Truth be told, there were many folks around who did not like for Mike to have gotten the Presley songs catalog and then Elvis's daughter too as his wife
That is the story I understand anyway, about MJ and LMP.
Just my 2cents.
Peace.
I think Ryden is giving an artist's perception/intuition of reality he sees, perhaps like an artist-type vision/interpretation. Michael must have trusted his gift in being accurate, if he hired him.
I tried to find some info on how Mark Ryden viewed MJ, and I only found this interview: <!-- m -->http://www.markryden.com/press/juxblack/index.html<!-- m -->
