Artwork: River of the Sun

Data Velvet has created a stunning piece with such  peaceful and vibrant beauty. The way the trees, and the rays of the sun, snake out of the darker areas of the composition is so effective. The piece has a traditional Japanese feel to it, especially in the stylisation and the use of colour. A truly gorgeous piece and an artwork which encourages the viewer to sit and admire the intricate details in the landscape.

Artwork: Help Me Breathe

The wafting fabric and the nude, unfocused, figure give this piece ethereal beauty. The sense of movement is enhanced by the way the figure emerges out of the black background. This piece has a Man Ray type simplicity to it as it celebrates femininity and mystery in equal measure. Grace's piece is both romantic and minimal in a very powerful way.  

Artist: Cacaboom

Artwork: Eternal Spring

Cacaboom's whimsical figure is a lovely combination between a romantic style and a bold illustrative piece. The work is reminiscent of the Shojo style of Macoto Takahashi with the big, luminous, eyes and the beautiful floral elements. The young woman has a sad expression, which adds to the romantic feel of the piece. If you haven't discovered Cacaboom as an artist yet, I highly recommend you take a look at her work as it is all very beautiful. 

Artist: Dolce Paganne

Artwork: Seed

The symbolism in this piece is puzzling and profound. Dolce Paganne is a master of mysterious connections in her work, which draws the viewer into her strange and beautifully sinister world. The way this piece is staged like a vintage photograph is lovely. The father and daughter's mingling, tentacle like, branches are fabulously intricate. The strange bird claw and the eight ball puzzling and  wonderful in equal measure. This piece is a delight and a mystery in the best possible way.

Artwork: The Elaborate Dance

Amber's work has a beautiful simplicity to it that is both refreshing and powerful. The satisfyingly crisp and abstract feel to her work brings back memories of fresh white paper and brand new colour pencils. Her work is a celebration of colour, and form, at its most relatable and personal level. The level of skill she exhibits in her work is breath-taking and enviable. To make her abstract style seem effortless and uncomplicated is Amber's truest talent.

Artwork: Beast & Bone (Collection)

SkullTakes has created a wonderful collection of fantastical skulls and this piece is one of them. The vintage photograph feel gives the piece an air of reality and the desert in the background has the feel of a cowboy film. The strange combination between human and animal features, on the skull, conjures up images of a grotesque beast long dead. This work is both intriguing and visually stunning.

Artwork: Nightcrawler Evolve-R Guy

This piece has a lovely use of colour with the classic combination of gold, red and black. The figure, with the rose between his teeth, has Catholic symbolism with the crucifix and the similar designs in his tattoos. The snake has garden of Eden vibes and the hat is similar to that of a bishop. The mask and the black beard gives an element of mystery, sexiness and ambiguity to the work which is intriguing. This artwork is a powerful and evocative image.

Artwork: Faith

This is a wonderfully wispy and eerie piece which has the feel of a dreamscape or vision. The all white and grey figure appears like an angel out of darkness. The raised hands give a sense of peacefulness or prayer. The title faith is apt, as this piece seems to be a communion between the artist and their religious beliefs. The cloud like background is so utterly beautiful you can almost feel their vapours against your skin.

Artwork: Mariposa

Eric has such a beautiful style and this piece is no exception. The vibrant colour and the wonderfully abstract, Picasso like in its simplicity, give the viewer a feast for their eyes. The large butterfly and the flower behind the woman's ear gives us a link to the natural world. The background colours and the vibrant blue of the figures skin makes this piece a bright and vivacious creation.
