Song of Achille

 In the vibrant depths of red and white, "The Song of Achilles" emerges as a visual ode to the epic story told by Madeline Miller. This series of illustrations evokes the book's powerful emotions and intertwined motifs, celebrating significant moments through rich symbolism and evocative imagery. The lyre, a central element of the images, is depicted with lines that oscillate between delicacy and ardor, representing its pervasive presence as a vehicle of human connection in the novel.

It stands out against a background that fluctuates between fluidity and frenzy, almost as if the protagonist's emotions were transformed into art. The presence of figs also figures, in a clear reference to a scene in the book, capturing the innocence and tranquility that precedes the inevitable tragic turn of the narrative. The form and composition of the illustration was defined through Adobe Illustrator, selecting an intentionally limited but expressive color palette. Subsequently, the work was refined in Adobe Photoshop, where textures and shades were carefully worked on to add depth and complexity to the image.
