About the Work

"The Whispering Thicket" is a captivating fine art print that beckons you into a mystical and surreal landscape. This artwork features a rich palette of deep blues and vibrant greens, set against a backdrop of soft moonlight hues, creating a dreamlike scene that captures the imagination. At the center, a striking pale figure, reminiscent of classical portraiture, anchors the composition with her haunting gaze.

Surrounding her are fantastical creatures that blend elements of mythology, surrealism and whimsy—such as a blue salamander with a human face and a majestic fish adorned with antlers. These characters have profound symbolic meanings and are intricately detailed in shades of azure and coral, enhancing the magical feel of the artwork. The background, with its ancient castle, pumpkin church and rolling landscapes, is painted in muted earth tones and grays, adding depth and contrast to the vivid foreground.

Ideal for those who appreciate the beauty of fantasy art, "The Whispering Thicket" makes a stunning addition to any collection, perfect for displaying in living spaces or galleries. Its blend of naturalistic and supernatural elements, combined with a dynamic color scheme, ensures that it will captivate and intrigue viewers, inviting them to explore the hidden depths and stories within.

Artist Profile

Creative Process

Surrealium's art starts with traditional sketching and painting, with some pieces evolving digitally through AI and generative technologies. Each artwork undergoes about 4000 iterations, balancing creativity and precision. The final pieces are printed using the Giclée method on archival paper, capturing texture and color with high fidelity for sophisticated, lasting art prints.

Materials and Care

Our prints are crafted using the finest inks on sustainably sourced archival paper, ensuring an 80-year archival life. Handle with care due to the delicate surface. Prints are delivered in a hard-surface box for protection and unframed in sustainable packaging. Framing is recommended upon arrival to protect the edges. These hybrid artworks blend traditional, digital, and generative art techniques, printed on Hahnemühle Rag paper (308 gsm, matte finish) using the Giclée method with 11 Ultra Wide Gamut Inks. Each limited edition includes 50 prints per size, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
