"Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you" - The Beatles

Drive My Car presents a carefully structured urban tableau where geometry and color intersect to form a vivid narrative.

The work’s mixed-media approach, combining acrylic, ink, and collage, enriches its surface with texture and depth, enhancing the interplay of abstraction and representation. Inspired by The Beatles’ song “Drive My Car,” the painting channels the spirit of ambition and possibility conveyed in the lyrics. The woman and her car symbolize a moment of readiness to embark on a journey—both literal and metaphorical—capturing the song’s themes of aspiration and the excitement of taking control of one’s path. This connection infuses the composition with a sense of movement and narrative tension, inviting viewers to imagine the stories behind the image.

This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by characters from Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.
