Black Illusions No.21 – Filia Borealis –

Black Illusions No.21 – Filia Borealis evokes the presence of a figure emerging from the silence of a northern landscape. Standing in the snow-covered forest, the subject appears both human and symbolic, as if belonging to an ancient narrative rooted in the wilderness.

The title “Filia Borealis,” meaning *Daughter of the North*, suggests a connection between the human figure and the elemental environment surrounding her. The composition presents the body not merely as an individual presence but as part of a broader mythic atmosphere — a quiet, almost ceremonial encounter between nature and form.

Within the Black Illusions series, the figure often operates as a symbolic structure rather than a character in a story. In this work, the surrounding forest becomes a natural stage that frames the subject, while the vertical lines of the trees reinforce the upright posture of the body.

The monochrome treatment intensifies the contrast between skin, snow, and shadow. The textures of fur, wood, and winter light create a layered visual field where the figure appears both grounded in the environment and slightly detached from it, like an archetypal presence.

Produced as a limited edition fine art print, the artwork is printed using archival pigment printing on museum-quality paper. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and prepared for long-term preservation.
