ANCIENT GODDESS. - halloween gift for home office interior (2020) Painting by Cryptid

ANCIENT GODDESS. from the series “Dark side of a new culture”. The love of darkness was born in my childhood, and if you read the descriptions under my paintings, you will learn a little more.
It shows the goddess from the album cover of “III” by ETHS, and this is one of my favorite dark and frightening images in modern art. I often used it, once I worked in a company that was engaged in the manufacture of escape rooms. There was a task to make a wall painting for the horror room "Lilith". Working in this subject was my favorite, and I took this image as a reference. There I depicted a goddess breaking out of her underworld to the earth, there was a lot of cruelty and bloodshed, perhaps you can still see it on my Instagram. I didn't like the result of that wall from the technical side. But the process was fun, because for about a week I literally lived this way.
"ETHS" is quite a heavy metal band, "III" was the first album that I fully listened to. You know that feeling when you gradually fall in love with something. First looking a little, then coming back again and again, and that's something that's been with you all your time. So it was with this band, I was captivated by their dark heavy energy, pagan aesthetic and the charm of the vocalist Candice, whose vocals seemed to me more powerful than the male vocals in this genre. I also grew up in Khakassia, a republic in the south of Siberia, which has a lot of prairies and shamanic influence. It all layered up and added a drop to my love of ancient magic and the dark side.


Please keep in mind that the colors of the artwork on your screen might appear a little different than on the actual artwork. This is because of the calibration, resolution, as well as the lighting.
Artwork on paper can be framed or pinned directly on the wall. Or even to paste it on a wooden panel and then hang on the wall. The paper used is solid enough to be pasted.
There may be some natural traces of paint / sellotape on the back or on the edges.
I ship the paintings UNFRAMED, large items in a protective tube, small ones in a sturdy cardboard box. Rolled works can easily be restretched. But i recommend you send any works on paper directly to your framer for cautious, professional unrolling of the artwork.
This handmade artwork will be delivered with a signed certificate of authenticity.
