About this artwork
When you decide to paint ABBA, you know you're taking on something huge. And this piece literally is; it's the largest canvas in the entire collection.
The inspiration came from two moments: the Eurovision victory with "Waterloo" in 1974 and the release of "Dancing Queen" two years later. Two songs that became worldwide phenomena. The energy in that is almost impossible to contain.
I thought it would take me about 12 hours. It took me 85.
Not… because anything went wrong, but because each layer I added opened up a new possibility. The colors demanded more colors. The shadows demanded more shadows. Every time I thought I was finishing, I found something that pulled me back to the canvas. That's how this piece grew, not according to a plan, but according to its own rhythm.
The result is a piece that attempts to capture something of those Swedish meadows they come from: that vastness, that light, that air. As if Sweden could fit inside a painting.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Alan Durst (Mexico, 1997) is a contemporary artist based in Madrid and founder of the Durst Lab studio. An architect by training and a painter by vocation, his work starts from geometric structure to open up towards the organic, the emotional and the narrative.
His compositions combine layers of color that expand from a center with small, hyperrealistic human figures. This tension between the monumental and the intimate is at the heart of his language: the scale of the epic measured in human bodies.
Influenced by music, pop culture and architecture, he translates sound moments and cultural atmospheres into visual experiences where rhythm, light and color function as emotional vehicles.
In less than three years he has sold more than 40 original works and has developed solo exhibitions in Madrid and self-managed immersive projects such as Golden Hour (2025)
