Illustration of a Selkie watching the stars. She carries her sealskin with her like a shawl. Amid the waves, a seal—or perhaps another selkie—watches over her.
✨ Forever suspended between two worlds, two forms, a selkie searches for answers and memories among the stars.
🎨 Digital painting (photoshop and Cintiq Wacom tablet) created during summer/autumn 2023. Size: 4724 x 7026 pixels.
Selkies are mythological creatures of the Celtic and Norse tradition, that can shapeshift between seal and human forms by removing or putting on their seal skin […] Selkies can also be coerced or tricked into marrying humans, usually by someone who steals and hides their seal skin, preventing them from returning to the sea.

PRINTED VERSION
For me, a print is a more than just a final stage for a digital painting. In some ways, the final stage is the digital one, and the print is… like it ascends to paradise, or something like that. It means the painting is so loved, it becomes something more, a part of your home, a part of your life. For this reason, I’m so glad when people show me their prints: it’s like a super fullfillment for my little painting. – Elena
