Did You Know?
The Scream is believed to be a self-portrait of its creator, Edvard Munch, capturing his own experience of anxiety and existential dread. He painted four different versions of this iconic work, each expressing the same haunting emotion that has made it one of the most recognizable paintings in history.
Hidden within this digitally hand-drawn word art, you’ll find fascinating facts about both the painting and its artist, including words like “terror,” “blood red clouds,” and “panic,” as well as phrases such as “walking with two friends,” “trembling with anxiety,” and “four different versions.”
In total, there are almost 40 words and phrases woven into this artwork, each one revealing the depth and emotion behind The Scream.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
