Otherworldly creatures

my first art without using reference Swamp Spirit

Set against the stark backdrops attainable only during blackwater dives, larval fish become strange, otherworldly specimens with glasslike bodies and translucent fins that billow outward. Their delicate, still-developing anatomies are the subjects of Steven Kovacs’s underwater photos, which frame the young creatures at such precarious stages of life.

These captivating animals will be featured in an upcoming Monterey Bay Aquarium exhibit. View must-see photos and videos.

A cloud is just a cloud, right? Well, not necessarily, if you’re a creative artist like Vorja Sánchez. He brings life to everyday skies by creating these adorable and just ever so slightly creepy cloud creatures. “Each work arises from something different,” Vorja says. “An experience, a stimulus, an exercise in technique... but they are always a dialogue with the natural environment that surrounds me.”
