Fantasy Art

Fantasy Art has traditionally been largely confined to painting and illustration, but since the 1970s has increasingly been found also in photography. Fantasy Art explores fantasy, “space fantasy” (a sub-genre which incorporates subjects of alien mythology and/or alien religion), imagination, the dream state, the grotesque, visions and the uncanny, as well as so-called “Goth” art. Being an inherent genre of Victorian Symbolism, modern fantasy art often shares its choice of themes such as mythology, occultism and mysticism, or lore and folklore, and generally seeks to depict the inner life (nature of soul and spirit).
