‘Holocene’ by Bon Iver-inspired illustration piece. The atmosphere of this one of my favourite songs and the green fields and meadows surrounding my studio inspired me to go for this subtle muted down palette, with pale blue blending in with greyish pink and earth green to frame the composition.
This one is about being human. The first idea for illustration was sparked by the lyrics of the song ,,And at once I knew I was not magnificent’’, so it’s about realisation of imperfection, human limits and temporarity. To me it’s about the fact that we’re human - we’re not super heroes, not perfect and can’t make up for everything to everyone. It’s about rise and fall, being high on the top for a long time and crashing down, failing someone else’s expectations.
Coming to terms with my own imperfections and things I can’t change is lifting off the weight of perfection seeking that can make me unhappy and lead to burning out. Even though I’m not magnificent, I can still become the best version of myself.
