Fantasy art explores imaginary visions, dream state, space creatures and some disturbingly beautiful elements of the Goth art - 9 years ago by

Fantasy surreal art is loosely-defined subgenre, which have grown highly popular for the last decade. It explores imaginary visions, dream state, space creatures and some disturbingly beautiful elements of the Goth art. Moreover, fantasy art incorporates subjects and elements from alien mythology, fantasy literature and fairy tales. By rule, fantasy art is inspired by different types of mythology referring to the cultural beliefs people share in different geographical regions. Fantasy digital artists create their own mythology, which is what makes their art unique and standout.

We want to please the fantasy surreal art fans by introducing them an insanely talented artist. We put together a collection of Vasylina Holodilina‘s personal artworks. Russia-born Vasylina creates mesmerizing, out-of-this-world beautiful fantasy portraits and each of them speaks highly of her talent. Her work includes a series of illustrations of Slavic mythology–inspired characters such as Zlata Maya (Slavic goddess of nature), Morana (goddess of winter and death), Zmey Gorynych (a dragon, which resembles the Greek hydra). The artist managed to deepen the characters so they look true-to-live and full-blooded. Truthfully, such enchanting creations deserve nothing but rave reviews and loud applause.

Holodilina’s art is an expression of her admiration to various images originating from ancient history and mythology to literature and films. Her portraits are created with talent and long hours of full dedication. They are so amazing that grab your attention instantly and soothe your soul.

These illustrations will live long after their creation.
