Pulp Fiction Painting – “Pride Only Hurts, It Never Helps”
This original Pulp Fiction painting is a cinematic homage to one of the film’s most haunting scenes. Titled “Pride Only Hurts, It Never Helps,” it captures the intense exchange between Butch and Marsellus Wallace—a moment where ego, violence, and vulnerability collide. With layered textures and expressive strokes, this piece channels the raw emotional energy that makes Quentin Tarantino’s work unforgettable.
Scene Inspiration – Butch & Marsellus
The moment that inspired this artwork is more than a turning point in the film—it’s a gut-punch of a monologue. As Marsellus tells Butch, “That’s pride fucking with you,” the dynamic shifts. This painting freezes that psychological tension: Butch’s internal war, Marsellus’ controlled rage, and the quiet fallout before chaos.
A Tribute to Tarantino’s Cinematic Grit
Using rich reds, deep shadows, and gritty textures, this Pulp Fiction painting draws from the film’s visual language. The brushwork echoes the claustrophobic pressure of the scene, while the composition captures the vulnerability hidden behind bravado. It’s not just a pop-culture reference—it’s an exploration of human ego and choice.
