Dive into the vibrant vortex of “iEKUNAZ!,” a large-scale mixed media artwork by Riley Vandervest, created in 2025. This piece, measuring 48 inches by 36 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, is presented on canvas, channeling the explosive energy of music and performance into a swirling abstract narrative.

Inspired by the artist’s persona RiLEY RAGE! and their song “iEKUNA!,” the artwork’s color scheme echoes the hues from the music video and the outfit worn, transforming auditory vibes into visual spectacle.

“iEKUNAZ!” erupts with a rainbow of intense colors—neon greens, fiery oranges, deep blues, radiant yellows, passionate reds, and mysterious purples—interwoven with stark blacks and luminous whites, creating a sense of cosmic motion and rhythmic flow.

The mixed media technique adds a textured dynamism, with fluid, sweeping brushstrokes, drips, and splatters that mimic the beat of a song or the sway of a performer, evoking waves of sound visualized as swirling energy.

The composition centers on a central curve that draws the eye inward, suggesting a portal or an unfolding story, where the vibrant layers blend and clash to capture the essence of musical ecstasy and creative release.

The title “iEKUNAZ!” builds on the original song “iEKUNA!,” extending its thematic pulse into a visual remix that celebrates self-expression and artistic evolution. Vandervest’s approach is both chaotic and harmonious, fusing the raw power of performance with abstract form, inviting viewers to feel the beat and immerse themselves in the synesthetic experience of sound turned sight.
