Fantasy, Mythology and Science Fiction
This is my latest painting called "Raven" and it portrays a fictional character with dark hair gathered in buns, pale skin, and bright green eyes framed by a coat of raven feathers. She exudes mystery, drama, and an uneasy presence. To achieve this atmosphere I used muted greens, deep blue, and dark colors that allow her luminous features to emerge from a surrounding field of shadow. Her face appears suspended within a void of textured black created through stippling, layered washes, and dense pigment. The clarity of her eyes and mouth contrasts with the dissolution of her edges, giving the impression that she is caught between tangible form and drifting haze.
The composition explores themes of identity, ambiguity, and psychological tension. By allowing the darkness to consume the borders of her figure, the painting encourages viewers to engage with what is only partially revealed. Her piercing green eyes and the faint warmth along her cheeks draw the viewer inward while maintaining a sense of distance and restraint. This interplay between beauty and unease creates a compelling emotional charge and invites reflection on how the unknown shapes our perceptions.
