MIKHAIL VRUBEL: MADNESS AND ART
Mikhail Vrubel works regularly explore themes of mysticism, despair, and the supernatural. Struggling with mental health issues throughout his life, Vrubel’s haunting style and vivid imagery left a lasting impact on Russian art.
Demon Seated (1890)
This iconic painting shows a solitary demon in a deep, thoughtful posture and carries very strong themes of despair and existential turmoil. It really is a symbol of Vrubel's own mental struggles because he can portray his emotions through an expressive face of the demon.
The Lilacs (1900)
This is an interesting painting of a woman surrounded by lilac blooms. It forms part of those works that have combined beauty with some element of unsettlement because the presented figure looks enchanting but melancholic. That tranquil expression of the woman evokes a feeling of longing for love and connection, as reflected in his relationships marked by upheavals.
Pan (1899)
The painting is a depiction of the Greek god Pan, who is characterized by wild hair, goat horns, and flute. The surroundings are thick with foliage and forms enhancing the dreamlike quality of the scene. Pan in the composition is symbolic of the artists' inner self, turmoil, and connection with nature; hence, this became an important work in his oeuvre.
The Swan Princess (1900)
There is really no "creepy" feel to this painting in the strict sense, Inspired by Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, Vrubel depicts the Swan Princess in a moment of transformation. It mirrors themes of transformation and loss, something akin to Vrubel's turbulent relationship with his wife, who suffered from her own mental illness, as indeed was the tragic story behind the painting.
The Six-Winged Seraph (1904)
The painting shows a scene with the fiery, heavenly figure, often interpreted as the angel Azrael, symbolizing a divine messenger and judge. The striking gaze of this seraph serves to remind one of the mission of art: to inspire and raise the human spirit to enable viewers to transcend the mundane existence through art.
As his mental health deteriorated, his artistic output diminished. The periods of severe illness significantly affected his ability to create, leading to fewer completed works in his later years.

SO- I did another Vrubel study, making the Demon from his paintings appear as Crowley. Wanted to do this one for a while, it's one of my favourites. The original artwork is called "The Sitting Demon"; for me, it has always reflected longing and loneliness. The Demon here seems very humane, much closer to a human being than expected from an occult creature. That's why he resembles Crowley to me a lot.
