Dark Forest

Materials: acrylic paint and oil pastels

Hand framed — 70 x 90cm

Welcome to the Dark Forest, an homage to the magical world of Harry Potter. This painting was created as a special gift for someone who holds this universe close to their heart.

At first glance, it looks like a misty, desolate landscape wrapped in darkness. But as you look closer, hidden details emerge: Harry flying on his broomstick, Dementors hovering above the towers of Hogwarts, Hedwig cutting through the fog and the iconic train crossing the viaduct in the distance. Among the shadows, a luminous Patronus stag stands as a symbol of hope, while Dobby reveals himself with his glowing finger; a tiny spark of light in the gloom.

The composition flows from dark tones along the edges into a lighter, endless horizon, creating the impression of a world suspended between shadow and light. It is at once desolate and alive, grim yet colorful, evoking the haunting atmosphere of the Forbidden Forest.
