Melusine Arwen

Self-taught artist, I cultivate all facets of fantastic and esoteric universes.
Why the name Mélusine Arwen? Because it is the alliance of medieval fantasy (the legend of Mélusine) and contemporary (Tolkien's Lord of the Rings).

Two legendary, mysterious women who break the rules of society in the name of love.

They also gave rise to an academic essay by Myriam White Le Goff.
I take you into a paradoxical universe, both dark and very colorful, revisiting myths with a touch of modernity.
Sprinkling my illustrations with natural elements (flowers, animals), goddesses or esoteric symbols, I offer you a real story to decipher, in the vein of the symbolism of Gustave Moreau or Odilon Redon, who are my sources of inspiration.
My techniques are mixed, between drawing, watercolor, touch-ups with ballpoint pen and digital.
It is quite natural that the imagery of Tarots and oracles interests me. Through illustration, the cards tell a story, as do myths, by mixing universal and individual history.
