Lost World by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and David Van Gough at Death and the Maiden Corey Helford Show

Closing August 1st, this is one of my personal favorites—and one of only a handful of still-available pieces—from Death and the Maiden, the stunning collaborative exhibition by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and David Van Gough at Corey Helford Gallery. 🦖✨

This epic work masterfully combines their extraordinary talents into a world of otherworldly beauty. The detailed dinosaurs are exquisite, and the figure is absolute perfection. Seeing this piece in person was an incomparable privilege, and if you are in the Los Angeles area before it closes, I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!

Sirena coronada de pétalos (Petal-Crowned Mermaid) by Lisabella Russo

 

Meet a new soul from The Huntington Hollows series: "Sirena coronada de pétalos" (Petal-Crowned Mermaid). 🌸💜

She is a round oil painting on 5.25" paper, beautifully housed in a 10" round ornate metal frame that gives her the feel of a vintage keepsake.

This sweet mermaid features soft brown skin, vibrant purple hair, and soulful, big green eyes flecked with hints of gold. Resting on her head is a massive pink water lily with a glowing golden core—directly inspired by a photograph I took during one of my peaceful walks through the Huntington Gardens.

Her portrait is set against a serene blue background, where the warm gold from the initial gesso layer subtly shimmers through.

✨ "Sirena coronada de pétalos" is currently available. Please send a DM if you are interested in welcoming this delicate soul into your collection!

Ancient Mariner by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and David Van Gough at Death and the Maiden Corey Helford Show
