So I drew 13 witches because I love Goyas darkness and the way he draws witches and demons. I asked the internet to write copy about the drawing by describing it and asking to to kick out a description. The writing describes a much better piece. HAHAHA
“13 Witches” is a captivating piece of art that delves into the realms of the occult and the macabre. Rendered in intricate detail with pen and ink on watercolor paper, this 12×18 artwork transports viewers into a scene of eerie mysticism and dark rituals.
At the center of the composition lies a mesmerizing focal point: a goat-headed demon, exuding an aura of sinister power and malevolence. Surrounding this demonic figure are 13 witches, each depicted with their own unique appearance and expression, their features twisted in a mixture of ecstasy and reverence.
The witches are engaged in a series of ominous activities, invoking ancient rites and performing sacrificial ceremonies. Some are seen chanting incantations, their voices rising in a haunting chorus, while others are depicted in the midst of performing arcane gestures or offering up sacrifices to their demonic patron.
The atmosphere of the scene is palpable with tension and foreboding, heightened by the stark contrast between light and shadow. Shadows dance across the scene, casting eerie silhouettes and adding to the sense of otherworldly dread.
“13 Witches” draws inspiration from the dark and enigmatic works of Francisco Goya, particularly his exploration of themes surrounding witchcraft, superstition, and the occult in his series of Black Paintings. Like Goya’s masterpieces, this artwork invites viewers to confront their deepest fears and delve into the darker aspects of human nature.
Through its evocative imagery and haunting symbolism, “13 Witches” offers viewers a glimpse into a realm where the boundaries between the mundane and the supernatural blur, leaving them captivated by its enigmatic allure and lingering long after they have turned away.
