Spirit of the Woods

This painting presents a striking elemental fantasy interpretation of the Virgo zodiac sign. The elfin girl amidst a profusion of lush foliage immediately sets and otherworldly tone, departing from real life and entering a fantasy realm.  The style blends elements of Art Nouveau with a touch of Surrealism, the girl's unearthly hue and sinuous lines evoke an ethereal transcendence.  The girl's pose suggests a state of introspection, indicating Virgo's analytical nature and her eyes hint at a quiet intensity rather than emotionality.  The abundance of flowers symbolise Virgo's connection to nature and the book represents Virgo's intellectual curiosity and love of learning.  This elemental fantasy rendering of Virgo is a powerful and evocative piece that uses unconventional techniques and rich symbolism to depict the essence of Virgo in a deeply personal and artistic way.
