Illlustration
The illustration I made is for the song: La piel del diablo, which means Devil’s skin.
The portrait composition with the flowers reminds a kind of classic and vintage portrait, made with decorative intention for an important person in the past. Obviously, it is not a random fact that the poppies are the flowers chosen, as the song refers to something he says he wants to give you.
