'Siberian Moonlit Night'
DEVILGROTH

Ink and watercolour on paper, 12"x24"

After an existing connection with Ruslan, he approached me to create a full front and back album cover for his them latest black metal project titled ‘Siberian Moonlit Night’

Responding to the tracks I was provided with in real time, creating an overall unifying image that communicated the ambient and heavily atmospheric production.

​

With the themes of serenity, and being in touch with the landscapes and cultural roots of old Russia, I drew on a number of classical influences, notably the masterworks of famed Russian painters like Ivan Shishkin.

Upon release the Album’s artwork received both praise and criticism for being unusual in subject matter for a heavy metal album, the artworks of which typically have a stylistic expectation.
