SIREN - behind the painting, Metodija Jovanov
Channel: Metodija Jovanov - Excellent Kitsch
Date: 14/05/2021

I have had this concept in my head for years... The earliest sketch I could find was from 2017. This painting was started back in the beginning of 2020, but after taking a break I was feeling anxious to go back to it. However, now that I finished it I am extremely pleased with the result - it is now my favorite artwork that I have done so far and I am very happy to share it with you.
I was inspired by the campy elements of old horror movies to portray a woman being eaten by a fish, giving the illusion of a mermaid. 
The whole creative process was documented and is uploaded as the first video on my YouTube channel.
