Siren Call Painting

Bright and colourful acrylic painting of a beautiful Siren with piercing blue eyes casting a spell into water. In Greek mythology, Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their singing voices to crash their ships into the rocky coast of their island. I wanted to created a modern day version of this myth with vivid pinks and bright reflections. Sirens symbolise temptation and desire, so I wanted my painting to be sensual. But I didn’t want it to be massively sexual – anyone who knows my work will know that I don’t shy away from sex, but I wanted to create a more animalistic feel in this painting – something halfway between a beautiful woman and a strange creature. I used the pink and purple colours to represent femininity, and I wanted the bursts of yellow to look like light – electricity crackling from her hands across water like an electric eel; dangerous and deadly, but also intriguing. Her hand has been distorted by the water, almost as if she is melting into it and becoming liquid herself. I made her eyes slightly larger than life to emphasise her feral feel and her gaze is filled with desire, but whether it’s sexual desire or hunger is up to the viewer.
