“Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes”  ― The Beatles

Inspired by The Beatles’ iconic song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, the painting captures the dreamlike and surreal qualities evoked by the lyrics, translating the psychedelic imagery into visual form. The fragmented patterns and interplay of shapes reflect the song’s kaleidoscopic visions, while the luminous background echoes its themes of light and wonder.

The contrast between the abstract, angular portrait and the serene, realistic sky is a reflection on how our inner worlds connect with the outer environment.  With "Lucy," I hope to inspire you to recognize the beauty in both individuality and the shared communities that shape our lives.

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.
