Artist Molly Devlin instills an aura of dreamlike mystery in her exquisitely rendered portraits in acrylic. She shapes the likeness of a deer or snail from layers of translucent florals and foliage: stacked leaves splay outward like the fur of a catâs face.
Through the fantastical, gossamer compositions, Devlin prods the ephemeral nature of existence and explores various facets of the unknown. âIâve always been fascinated by the mysteries beyond life and death, the unexplainable offers infinite inspiration to me,â she shares.
Devlin, who is based in Sacramento, is currently preparing for an upcoming group exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery, and she also has shows slated for next year at Revolution Gallery and Arch Enemy Arts.
If you like such unusual style painting, you can find prints and original works in the artistâs shop, and watch her at work on Instagram.
