Mystical Menacing Illustrations

Harpa Einarsdottir Creates Demons as a Way to See the Good

— June 30, 2010 — Art & Design
Harpa Einarsdottir is a fashion designer who currently works as both a stylist and a costume designer, but her illustrations are what drive everything she does. They are beautiful, enchanting and terrifying, all at the same time.

Harpa Einarsdottir describes her work as being about "mysticism and magic, earth, creatures, love and balance. There has to be evil so there can be good.
