“ICONS”
James Hetfield

2023 - Acryllic marker on (A3) paper


This artwork is part of a series called 'ICONS', where I express my admiration for certain influential figures by creating collages showcasing their most recognizable looks and personal traits. It's a way of representing who they truly are.

In this specific piece, I focus on James Hetfield, the lead singer and guitarist of the renowned metal band Metallica. He is my ultimate idol because I admire his unique style, musical tastes, and, of course, the incredible music he and his bandmates produce. I particularly love his tough appearance, especially during his younger years from 1989 to 1994. His fashion choices also intrigue me, which is also another reason why I included him in this series.
