Abstract

The Covid 19 pandemic is causing global falldown in almost every aspect, from health, economic, culture, and without exception psychology more specifically on fear. Recent study on psychological impact concluded that specific groups from specific socio-demographic variables will act differently based on their fear of the desease. Every specific groups have their own priorities to survive the pandemic. The mass media also plays a role in driving the fear of people, reported and exaggerated information on the desease. The aim of this paper is to give an artistic approach and respond of the pandemic situation through digital painting and serve as visual artefact of the 2020 pandemic. The creation begins with phenomenon observation, theoretical approach, conceptualization, and finalizing. The result of the artwork conceptually is that essentially that people fear the most is death which is what being represented through the artwork.
