Mellifluous is my bee goddess: Regal, glowing and hypnotic 🐝🍯🖤

Her name means “flowing with honey”, and I wanted that feeling to run through the whole painting: the gold, the metallic textures, the hypnotic eyes, and the way she seems to shift between woman and bee depending on how you look at her.

She’s especially lovely in changing light because the background is packed with different golds and metallics, so the whole surface moves and glows.

Deliquescence: a body-horror piece about transformation, decay and the point where a human figure starts to become something else.

The figure’s throat has already transformed into the stipe of a mushroom, while the cap above is loosely based on a shaggy ink cap. Its surface is beginning to break down and liquefy, so the whole image sits somewhere between growth and decomposition, beauty and the uncanny.

Mixed media, A4. 🖤

A goddess, a body, a myth, and a lot to unpack. 🖤

This deep dive looks at Venus, Reimagined: the references behind her, what I changed from the traditional imagery, and all the little details tucked into the piece.
