reimagining michael jackson through painting and fashion illustration

hi everyone, i’m new to reddit, and this is my first post here.

my name is artsem pruski. i’m a russian artist currently living in poland. i’ve been creating paintings and illustrations for many years, and my work is deeply connected to the things i love: fashion, style, retro culture, video games, and of course, michael jackson.

i work in two main directions. i paint with oils, and i also create digital fashion illustrations on my ipad exclusively in procreate.

when i work with oils, i paint only in impasto and use a palette knife. i really love this technique because it allows me to create a very physical, almost sculptural surface and achieve an incredible level of detail through the texture and volume of the paint.

in my digital work, i try to reinterpret michael jackson as a pop icon through my own fashion-focused style and visual language. i create illustrations of michael alongside different celebrities, always trying to show him through my own perspective and artistic style.

i love fashion, style, gta, music, old-school visual aesthetics, and retro culture in general. i’m completely immersed in that world, and it still inspires the way i live and create today.

that’s why i love combining music, fashion, pop culture, nostalgia, and my own artistic language in my work.

i’ll attach several of my michael oil paintings, as well as some of my fashion illustrations featuring michael and other well-known figures.

i’d be very grateful for any feedback. since this is my first post on reddit, i simply wanted to introduce myself a little and share some of my work with you.

if anyone wants to see more of my work, i use the name artbypruski.

and to all the moonwalkers here, sending you a very special hello and lots of love.

thank you for taking the time to look at my work.

Something about Michael’s music is just on a higher frequency

I was not even 2 years old when Michael Jackson died so I don’t even know anything about what things were like when he was alive but I can still say that i’ve never listened to another artist with vibrations that just radiates at such a high frequency. No matter if it was a legend that came before or after him

Invincible Cover Art Color Variants

This is personally one of my favorite projects. I wasn't able to get the color covers in HQ for a long time so I (again) decided to make them by myself. I found the original white cover, repainted the pixeled parts with a stronger brown, and the "JACKSON" and "INVINCIBLE" texts were repanited too. The colored covers were pure gradient edition.

I know that there are several variants of one same color, so I chose the ones that looked better in my opinion.

As always, I'll leave the MediaFire link so you can download the images in HQ:
