A series about the mystic powers of the feminine confronted with the degraded world of men. Religion as the instrument of lies, poetry as the path to truth. We will find revealers of secret words hidden in the constellations of inner worlds. Night as the liquid space and time, to taste the pale light of pleasure, truth and condemnation. Warm blood to compose the maudit litanies.

MANFRED CONJURING THE SPIRITS
|
Ink & scratching over paper / 74 cm x 26, 3 cm / 2012
During my reading of Lord Byron 's MANFRED, I was called by the record label Debemur Morti to produce a new cover for a reissue of the album "Supremacy" by THE EYE, a side project of Vinsdval, leader musician of Blut Aus Nord, a legandary black metal band from France. When I read the lyrics of this album I found several similarities between the places and the spiritual search, between the character of this piece and Manfred. So, I proposed this idea of a man who is at the top of the mountain, calling the spirits of elements to find answers, to retrieve the sense of his existence.
