Drifting between reality and myth, Somnium Silvanum “The Dream of the Forest” invokes the quiet magic of nature and transformation. Inspired by folklore, surrealism, and the fluid boundaries between human and animal, this work captures a figure in a liminal state, neither fully of this world nor entirely of another. The antlers, reminiscent of ancient woodland spirits, symbolise growth, intuition, and a deep connection to nature, while the delicate pearls cascade like memories slipping through time.

Soft, muted earth tones and painterly lighting evoke a timeless atmosphere, as if this being has stepped from the pages of a forgotten myth. The subject’s introspective pose invites the viewer to reflect on the ephemeral nature of identity are we merely dreamers, or do we exist as part of something greater, woven into the landscape itself?
