*For the prompt, I chose the lyrics from one of the most famous songs by the local band Block Out, dating back to 1998. It’s a song that’s become an anthem for the deeply melancholic, and the band itself isn’t for everyone. Whether we like it or not, those lyrics pop up in our minds from time to time, and then we just sing, “against myself, against myself, against myself…”
A unique band, sadly no longer performing, with distinctive music and exceptional lyrics.
The funny part of all this is that I’ve spent hours trying to find the right painting technique and artistic style to convey the despair and hopelessness the song portrays. After numerous failed attempts, I tried something very simple... and got an entirely unexpected result. Every attempt was the same: a nude woman or nude women. To understand whether this image actually suits the prompt, I’d have to dive into philosophical conversations with myself, and I’d probably find some connection. I truly like the style of these images. Even though DaVinci2 once again generates nudity in contexts where there’s no mention of nudity or anything remotely suggestive, we obviously can’t publicly share this kind of erotic art, which is often quite appealing. So, I’m publishing it censored. The first of all the attempts, and the most beautiful.
