Parallel Fantasy Realms: The Art Of Rima Staines (Part I)
Art, Art ShoutsThe first time I laid eyes on the artwork of England’s Rima Staines, I stopped dead in my tracks. Then I was floored.
Rarely do you find art that can make you feel nostalgic, while simultaneously transporting you into realms of fantasy at the frontiers of your imagination.
As I continued to peruse her work, I often found myself wondering: where will I be taken next?
When examining curious imagery of this sort, we can fantasize endless narratives…
Some that may seem quite pleasant at first,
can later become twisted and dark.
