Hey man, I think it's nice, I could see it was a sculpture coming out of his shell but the connection between the crab and the shell is a bit hard to see right away - having some more / stronger shadows where his neck enters the shell would make it clear. Also if I squint at it, the crustacean thing on the left kind of gets lost a bit with both the background and the statue, so darkening / lightening some stuff to make that crab clearer. The 3D'ness of it, and the forms, perspective and stuff work great though! I know you've been battling with that stuff for a while, so great job ^^ I can't really comment on the content, since your paintings are so out there, and symbolic I guess, but I never know what they are supposed to mean, and this one doesn't bring up anything personally - but that's not a negative thing at all, just different tastes ^^
