Fantastic Creatures

There is something quietly tragic in the idea of wanting to become human and then realizing you no longer belong anywhere.

When did art last move you?

Capture it before it fades.

Art experiences are fleeting. Capture the artwork, write one sentence, and keep the moment in your art journal.

That simple habit is the idea behind artjournal.ing.

About This Artwork

This work explores identity as a threshold rather than a destination. The creature exists between animal and human, desire and consequence, belonging and estrangement. Inspired by myths of beings transforming for love, the painting reframes transformation as something irreversible and isolating. The visual language feels almost ancient yet abstracted, like a memory of a symbol rather than the symbol itself. Its museum presence reinforces that this is not just a personal story but a universal one, about longing to become something else and the quiet cost of that wish.
