Album Artwork 2021
The inspiration behind this artwork came from the song lyrics of Conviction,, "With lips of blue and eyes of white... wearing the black crown." The various themes of death in the album lyrics reminded of 'The Death of Marat': by Jacques-Louis David. The striking perspective and lighting in "The Death of Marat' was something I wanted to recreate in this piece. The warm to cool transition in tones represents the passing of life. Stripped of all finery, the figure meets his death in a cold tomb, nightshade clutched to his chest.
