Pulp Fiction Painting – Pride Only Hurts, It Never Helps
I’m excited to share this original Pulp Fiction painting, titled “Pride Only Hurts, It Never Helps.” It’s a hand-painted tribute to the raw dialogue and unforgettable tension between Butch and Marsellus Wallace—two characters whose decisions reflect the destructive power of pride. This piece captures the gritty emotion that defines Tarantino’s cult classic.
Inspiration and Cinematic Context
Pulp Fiction’s dialogue-driven storytelling has always fascinated me. The scene between Butch (Bruce Willis) and Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) reveals more than just conflict—it exposes how ego can unravel everything. That moment, both violent and vulnerable, inspired the core emotion of this painting. It’s not just a scene—it’s a commentary on the human condition.
A Bold Tribute to Tarantino’s World
More than just a movie reference, this work explores the themes of pride, ego, and downfall. Using layered brushwork and deep tones, I echoed the film’s moody atmosphere and emotional weight. It’s a visual tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s ability to turn sharp dialogue into psychological tension.
