Art Strikes Back: “Avaritia” by deadmau5

The pulsating reverberations of deadmau5’s “Avaritia” from while(1<2) is enough to gain resentment from your roommates. The following illustration was inspired by the track and those reverberations which are a parallel to my creative process. Watercolor, india ink, guache, fluid acrylics, colored pencils, and a mechanical pencil were used in its creation. The idea came about from the masses of people around me, all in their own world, listening to music, browsing social media or sending text messages. The colorless face represents a mask, stoic at first glance, but upon further examination, illustrious and luminous imaginations are at work, altered by the surrounding elements and musical context.
