Lana Del Rey
I made this painting for the contest "Iconic Tribute Contest" run by
The contest can be found here:
www.deviantart.com/journal/Ico…
Why I chose her? Good question.
I never thought of her as an icon for me. But after I saw this challenge I started to think (for the first time) what a big influence her music is for my art.
I have made paintings based on her songs (used them as inspiration), I listen to her songs while I paint/draw and use her lyrics to name my paintings...and I even did one portrait of her.
So without her music I wouldn't have created some of my artworks.
I'm mostly inspired by her lyrics that's why I wrote some of her lyrics in the painting.
My artwork inspired by her music (& lyrics):
Black Beauty song: "Black beauty"
Ultraviolence song: "Ultraviolence"
Innocence Lost song: "Gods & Monsters"
Sad Girl, Bad Girl song: "Sad Girl"
What Are You Hiding? song: "Big Eyes"
Pink Flamingos song: "Music To Watch Boys To"
Dive In, Dive Deep song: "Swan Song"
Deeper, Harder, Darker song: "The Blackest Day"
And my Lana "portrait":
Lana Del Rey
WOW, her music is really a big influence on my art creativity

I noticed that blue and pink are the killer combination. People love it. I see this on other's artworks and the viewers go wild.
It has a "drug" effect on people, I think
If you have a drawing that sucks, use this colors and no one will notice it
Remember Prince's words: Let's go crazy

Thank you, but I like to think that I don't have drawings that suck... you know... makes me depressed (haha)
At the moment I like the combo purple (or light pink) + forest green

"purple (or light pink) + forest green"...sounds good

So beautiful! I love how your art is so dreamy and psychedelic! It's like you combine physical properties with raging imagination. Keep up the great work!

It was the first time I actually done the dreamy thing...the right way. The way I wanted it.
I always end up with too opaque looking paintings. I want to make them translucent and "light" looking, but end up with an "oil painting"
Otherwise I like the way I do my paintings, but I'm angry when I want this dreamy effect and it just doesn't want to happen
Thank you for your encouragement

She looks beautiful! I know it's supposed to be Lana del Rey, but she also makes me think of Ellie Goulding too! Maybe they got the same mouth. haha

For me it was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley double.
