Marine Ghost

$495.00

Marine Ghost was inspired by a stunning sea dragon skeleton. I was mesmerised by its intricate beauty. The lack of colour gave it a delicate appearance, like a piece of lace, which I’ve brought to life on a mixed media background created with oil paint and pieces of old dress patterns. The strong contrast between the white sea dragon and the marine background adds to its beauty, making it a hauntingly beautiful piece of artwork that captures the essence of this mystical creature of the sea.
