forest witch - Sofia de Lemos

A face looks out from a dark ground, its skin worked like bark in gold, ochre and deep brown. Long red roots stream from the head and coil across the whole picture, meeting paler roots that curl in from the edges. The eyes are wide and pale, small pink flecks are scattered through the dark, and the artist's name is signed at the lower right.

Painted in dark, layered glazes with the light held in the face. Sofia de Lemos is a Portuguese artist and illustrator with a background in painting, drawing and tattoo art, who works in magical realism. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
