▶ ABOUT «FANTASY CREATURES» SERIES
One day I caught myself wondering: what if we could reshape our appearance whenever we wished, even change our anatomy? That idea grew into the «Fantasy Creatures» Series, a collection of portraits depicting beings who have adapted to life far beyond Earth. Their skin shifts with bold, chameleon-like colors, and their features follow their own strange inner logic: unusual, alien, and unexpectedly beautiful. Each figure symbolizes transformation, survival, and the vast possibilities of life on other worlds.

This small-format abstract fantasy portrait on paper presents a mysterious young figure with a soft pink face adorned with colorful ornamental patterns, emerging against a blue-violet background filled with flowing, fluid textures. The portrait itself is painted in acrylic, while the background is created with oil paints, allowing smooth transitions and an almost cosmic sense of movement.
The contrasting combination of pink and blue tones enhances the surreal and otherworldly mood of the artwork. The image feels vivid, expressive, and multidimensional, evoking a sense of mysticism, inner transformation, and a connection to a cosmic realm. This piece is ideal for collectors drawn to fantasy portraiture, abstract figurative art, and emotionally charged contemporary mixed media works.
