Madre Tierra - in-process

illustration for CD cover and booklet, for venezuelan band Gran Coquivacoa. The album is called "Madre Tierra", meaning "mother eath", so this is what i set out to convey in the art.

This is a detail of the the illustration still in process... i share it here because i love how the little floating elements seem golden and shiny over the plain black background.

golden over black. reminds me of Klimt and ancient greek imagery. i'm not exactly sure why.
