This Punk was inspired by CryptoPunk #3936 and Francisco Goya's work "El Aquelare" from 1797. It depicts a coven of witches. They are old, ugly women with shrunken faces and flabby bodies. Some of them are holding babies or their corpses in their arms. In the center of the circle sits the devil, depicted by the artist as a goat, on whose head there is an oak wreath. The devil stretches out his paw to the child. According to Spanish and other beliefs, the devil feeds on the bodies of babies. This is the way Goya depicts a meeting of witches.

"El Aquelare" is created in dark shades. The two main colors are complementary - yellow with a wide palette of shades and deep blue in a sharp gradient. Punk interprets the color of the picture in a different way. There is practically no bright living yellow here, which saves Goya's work from immersion in total coldness. Deep blue is concentrated in the corners, which becomes more transparent as it approaches the figure of Punk. Due to the effect of transfusion created by different-tone geometric fragments, the entire image seems voluminous and fragile.

The volume is also achieved by a synthesis of local and tonal colorings – the color flows from one shade to another very smoothly, but each of these shades is enclosed within its own limited plane. In fact, this is a description of the device of a stained glass window. But not medieval, where each piece of glass is strikingly different in color from the neighboring one, but modern. This is the stained glass window in the famous Moscow Ryabushinsky mansion, made by the architect Shekhtel at the beginning of the 20th century.

In general, the picture, because of its structure, resembles a crystal amphora consisting of very thin fragments. But considering the blue shades, the image of the famous Bei Yuming’s pyramid in front of the Louver in Paris arises in my memory. It looks very similar to Punk in the iridescence of sunlight against the background of the blue sky.

Despite the clear triangular contours of the fragments, the image of the Devils is almost non-figurative. His silhouette seems to extend to the whole picture, merging with the surrounding world. Evil is not localized and is not enclosed in a limited space
