Inspiration Source:
The story of this painting is quite long, just like the time it took to create it. This motif is inspired by the album ‘Perdition City’ by the band Ulver. As a big fan of the Norwegians’ work, as soon as I got my hands on this album, I immediately listened to it. To my surprise, initially, it was hard for me to get through it because I wasn’t used to the band’s sound. In hindsight, I simply wasn’t mature enough at the time to appreciate such work. I won’t hide that it took me a long time to get used to it, and it always lingered in the back of my mind. While listening to these sounds, I imagined myself walking through the titular city of perdition, trying to find the right path and wondering if I was just going in circles. After several years, I decided to tackle the idea of a painting inspired by these sounds. After sketching out the details, I knew this wouldn’t be an easy road. The painting took a full three months to complete. Working on it was very challenging, but I think the end result is at least satisfactory for me. So, I got lost in my city, grew up to it all, and realized my vision. Honestly, it was a trial by fire and the painting that challenged me the most out of all the ones I’ve created, but I consider it a very good lesson for the future. Here we have a clear example that painting isn’t always joyful brush strokes on canvas.
