Original artwork description:

Art Nouveau style pencil and ink drawing inspired by the enigma of sleep, which has always been seen as a magical and important time, so much so that almost every culture in the world has gods and creatures that protect rest or dreams. According to the Celts, for example, sleep was a supernatural female entity, Caer Ibormeith, goddess of the earth and the underworld, of prophetic dreams, of magic derived from music and singing so melodiously that all of Ireland fell asleep for three days and three nights. Aengus, the god of youth, fell in love with her and recognized her as one of the 150 girls transformed into swans after having broken the strings of the harp with its magical sound, creator of the spell cast by the moon.

Materials used:

Pencil and ink on cardboard
