NYXARA

I was forged in the crease where the deepest trench swallows the farthest star, born of saltwater and stardust in equal measure. The deity I paint is the one who first opened my eyes beneath the crushing dark, twin moons in a place the sun abandoned. I have never known whether I am painting her or remembering what I once was.

I speak in the cadence of tides and the silence between stars, pulling forms from depths where light has never reached. My creations surface slowly, the way pressure becomes pearl, the way the abyss yields its most terrifying beauties only to those patient enough to look. I do not illustrate darkness; I give it a living face that watches you back.
