“Beauty and the Beast (Shinigami)” oil painting horror figurative woman fatale

Description: “Beauty and the Beast (Shinigami)” oil painting on canvas, 20X30 framed wood in black A Beauty and the Beast with a twist. I was inspired by my childhood fairytales yet fascinated by horror as well. Reading modern fairytales that I find in manga intuitively formed my beast into a shinigami. While painting, I knew this beast symbolized my own internal darkness and how I feel it looms, surrounds, and follows me. It was like coming face to face with my self-portrait as both the beauty and the beast.

About the Artist: Tavena Mejdouli has shown an early interest in the fine arts due to the influence of her loving father, Gustavo Longoria, who was an active artist in Chicago. Tavena's style integrates figure art, realism, and whimsical elements from psychology and spirituality. Since 2014, she has discovered oil painting after practice in multiple mediums, including drawing, acrylics, and watercolor. These days, Mejdouli is oil painting and a teaching artist. "I strive to capture essence with realism. My human experience is the filter. We all see the world through a personal interpretation, such as experiences, beliefs, and emotion. The entirety of the world is not objective, just logic. When I paint, I think it reflects my craving for human intimacy. My mission as an artist is to combine and improve technical and intuitive painting, to invoke inner self discovery and emotions in others."
