“The story unfolds in a mythical past, an era when people were connected to the laws of nature. This is depicted through the color scheme. The colors are vibrant, reminiscent of ultraviolets and infrareds that surround us but are invisible to our human eyes. The vivid colors also starkly contrast with the dark storyline. The painting style is inspired by expressionism and is achieved with custom-designed brushes that simulate painting on glass.”
