This artwork is based on John Keats’s Ode to a Nightingale. The poem described how the bird was unaffected by earthly sufferings and how Keats was temporarily transported to another world as he listens to the singing of the nightingale. I personally like picking parts of Keats’s odes as a reference for my illustrative work, they are full of rich imagery and reading them takes me into this world that he created with his words.
