So, I was impressed by the mystique of the Blair Witch. It was a movie tape. It’s something autumnal and dark, especially the moment when the goth girl eats a watermelon, if you’ve seen this movie, you know what I mean. This film had a big impact on my interests later on. In particular, if it were not for this one, perhaps this artworks series would not exist. Who knows?
"Dark side of our culture" series is my expression of my love for the dark in contemporary culture, in films and music. This love was born in my childhood, and if you read the descriptions under my paintings, you will learn a little more.
This portrait is from this series. It is a bloodthirsty witch a.k.a Lady Gaga from the tv series "AHS:Roanoke". Actually, my favorite Lady Gaga character in this series is the Countess. But it’s a different aesthetic, when I was inspired by the characters, I was thinking of primal darkness, and this witch is more in line with that.
My love of horror movies began as a child. I think my first horror movie was "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2". You know, I love witchcraft besides the mermaids. I wrote my spellbooks like in "Charmed", collected ingredients on the city streets, and made my own magical artifacts. I will tell you more about this childhood in other descriptions under the artworks.
