Acrylic on paper

Signed on the front.

In Tanja Ackerman's abstract synaesthesia painting of "I Stand Alone" by Heavy Metal Band Godsmack, the paper bursts with a bold battle of colours and shapes that mirror the song's intense and solitary themes. Swirls of deep purple and fiery orange intertwine, reflecting the song's raw emotion and powerful lyrics.

Hints of teal peek through, representing the song's underlying resilience and determination. The earthy tones ground the composition, providing a sense of strength and stability amidst the chaos.

Pale yellow fine line work dances across the canvas in a three-dimensional circular pattern, creating a sense of movement and energy. Hidden within the layers of paint are subtle details, patterns and landscapes hinting at hidden worlds and deeper meanings, inviting the viewer to explore and interpret the painting in their own way.

Ackerman's painting is a vivid and captivating interpretation of "I Stand Alone," capturing the essence of the song's defiance and strength through a mesmerizing display of colour, shape, texture and intricate detail.
