The disco ball symbolises the joy of celebration, which unites people in both the city and the countryside. The disco ball creates a lively atmosphere full of light and movement. It represents the collective need for community and letting go — a timeless theme that also inspired Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
In his depictions of nightlife, Kirchner captured the dynamism and energy of urban scenes. I drew inspiration from the colour woodcut “Farbentanz” (Dance of Colours) from 1933.
The original “SATURDAY NIGHT” is currently on display at the Youth For Art exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bremen. I submitted this work on the theme of city life and country life in relation to Kirchner.

I used to draw a lot when I was younger. At the age of 16, I began drawing portraits of other people. During my A-levels in Art, I learnt a number of techniques and really enjoyed working with different media, which is why I decided to study Art and Media. Whilst at university, I also started painting more in my spare time and discovered a passion for oil painting. At the moment, I’m exploring Surrealism in depth. Inspired by Edward Hopper and René Magritte, I’ve found a style that suits me. With my series *Strangers*, I’m trying to combine the unfamiliar with something familiar.
