About this artwork
Before starting this piece, I went out to find the vinyl record.
Not a file, not a playlist. The physical vinyl of Like a Prayer. I wanted to feel the object, read the notes, have that weight in my hands. If I was going to paint Madonna, I needed to enter the era for real.
The idea came naturally: to blend vinyl with visual composition. To make it seem as if sound waves were emanating from the acetate in her most iconic colors: yellow, blue,… purple, pink, and green. All in harmony.
But it took me several tries to get to that composition. I was very clear about what I wanted to see, and I couldn't let it go until it was exactly like that. That's how it works: sometimes the vision and the brush don't agree at first.

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)
