About the Artwork:
We get a glimpse of a group of half-fairy/ half-goblins gathering in the forest clearing. They have a lot of birdlike qualities, and one of the creatures is wielding a powerful egg spell. They are guarding the princess in the middle; As you approach as an intruder, stumbling into the scene, each of them looks at you with a different sentiment.
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
As a freelance artist, I specialize in fantasy traditional (watercolours, inks, pens, oils) and digital painting. My artistic style is mostly inspired by fantasy masters like Brian Froud, Alan Lee, H.R. Giger, Studio Ghibli, J.G. Moebius, J.R.R. Tolkien, Hieronymus Bosch and many more.
The book ‘Faeries’ by Brian Froud and Alan Lee played a pivotal role in my decision to pursue art, as it introduced me to old Celtic myths. I am grateful to live in Kilcoole, which is rooted in the same mythological tradition and have done so for over eight years. Sometimes, beyond fantasy art, my work reflects darker themes as a product of my philosophical ponderings, or ideas streaming from my subconscious mind.
My formal education included the School of Applied Arts, Zagreb, and the Faculty of Fine Arts, Belgrade; In both cases, I completed the Painting course. I am a member of VAI (Visual Artist Ireland) and AOI (Association of Illustrators).
