Echoes of the Uncanny

This surreal portrait captures the essence of the uncanny valley, where the woman's almost-human features—her smooth blue skin, oversized eyes, and unnervingly perfect expression—trigger a sense of unease. The intertwining roots in her hair and the abstract, flowing background enhance the eerie, dreamlike quality, making the viewer question what is real and what feels just beyond human.

Artistic Style/Period: Modern surrealism with a strong emphasis on the uncanny valley effect. The piece blends traditional watercolor techniques with unsettling, near-human aesthetics. Influenced by artists like Agnes Cecile and Marion Bolognesi, it explores the tension between human emotion and the surreal through a delicate balance of realism and distortion.

Relevant Artists: Agnes Cecile, Marion Bolognesi, Hannah Yata, David Mack
