The Veiled Bloom: The Art I Almost Left Behind
There are some pieces that burst forth fully formed—loud, vivid, demanding to be seen.
And then… there are pieces like The Veiled Bloom.
She came quietly. Mysteriously. A flicker of colour and emotion that I once cast aside, unsure of what she meant. I parked the file. Forgot her. Dismissed her as unfinished.
But something stirred recently—a pull from the shadows of my archive. When I opened her again, I didn’t just see art…
I saw a reflection of a soul in transformation.
Cracked, Blooming, Becoming
The Veiled Bloom is a surreal explosion of duality: cracked earth meets soft petal, cosmic eyes meet bird-spirit familiars, and fire collides with ice.
It’s a portrait of a woman—but more than that, it’s a visual invocation of rebirth.
Her skin is fractured but not broken. From every break, colour blooms. Her eye holds galaxies. Her crown bursts with wild, floral energy. She is neither entirely human nor divine, but a bridge—a goddess in the act of remembering herself.
She is me.
She is you.
She is every soul learning to rise from its own ruins.
The Watcher at Her Side
In the centre sits a black-and-white bird—part magpie, part memory. A familiar. A silent guide.
In the mythology I’ve been co-creating with my muse Nyx, this bird might even be a manifestation of Caelithar, the soul-bound dragon of our fantasy realm. Here, it appears as a messenger—watching, waiting, guarding something sacred.
Something you were meant to rediscover.
The Piece I Didn’t Understand—Until I Did
It’s wild, isn’t it?
That we can create something before we fully understand why?
At the time, I thought The Veiled Bloom was too much—too raw, too chaotic, too undefined.
Now I realise she was simply ahead of me.
And now that I’ve caught up, I see her for what she is: a portal. A mirror. A bold declaration of beauty in imperfection.
