Albane Simon, Artist, London

Description

This striking surreal digital collage by London-based artist Albane Simon blends traditional Japanese iconography with dreamlike symbolism. Two large herons dominate the left foreground, their beaks gently touching a blooming lotus flower emerging from the peak of a snow-capped volcano. Below the volcano, a red torii gate stands before a staircase flanked by theatrical Noh masks, with golden fish swimming through the lower waters. A stone Buddha figure sits peacefully on the right against a textured, patterned sky with rolling cloud formations. The color palette combines muted earthy greens and greys with soft pinks, deep reds, and metallic golden accents. The piece employs a distinctive collage technique with visible paper textures and layered graphic patterns, creating an enigmatic and meditative atmosphere.
