Lana Del Rey

I made this painting for the contest "Iconic Tribute Contest" run by  

The contest can be found here:

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":

WOW, her music is really a big influence on my art creativity
