Selkie
This evocative artwork captures the ancient Scottish myth of the selkie in a moment of magical transformation. The central figure is a young woman caught between two worlds—half-human, half-seal—as her metamorphosis unfolds at the boundary between land and sea.The artwork masterfully balances the mystical elements of Celtic folklore with anatomical precision, creating a piece that feels both fantastical and believable. The color palette shifts from warm human tones to the cool, silvery blues and grays of the ocean and seal forms, visually reinforcing the transformation narrative at the heart of the selkie myth.
