Introducing, Aglaope, a mermaid painting by Emilia Cantor.
Cantor’s canvases are a riot of emotionally charged contrasts, as vibrant hues of magenta, purples, and pinks clash against stark expanses of black, creating a visual tension that pulsates with otherworldly energy. Against this dramatic backdrop, Cantor introduces enigmatic forms— humanoid creatures, fantastic animals, and abstract shapes— that serve as portals to mysterious realms beyond our comprehension.
Influenced by artists such as Odd Nerdrum, Hieronymus Bosch, and Francisco Goya, Cantor brings a surrealist sensibility to her compositions. Her work is inspired by a formal, European painting tradition, honed during her training at the Florence Academy of Art, yet her approach to colour is distinctly contemporary, influenced by design colour and the digital world’s heightened saturation and light manipulation.
In this mermaid painting, Cantor’s evocative imagery presents hidden narratives and emotions that lie beneath the surface.
