PERSEPHONE YOUNG

Persephone Young captures the haunting beauty of myth reimagined, where a youthful figure is adorned with a crown of dark blooms, echoing the duality of life and the underworld. The face emerges softly from a shadowed background, surrounded by lush flowers and leaves in shades of deep crimson and amber, as if she is both blooming and fading within the same moment. Her gaze is intense yet tender, embodying the innocence of youth touched by the gravity of ancient lore.

This artwork explores themes of transformation, innocence, and the cyclical nature of life, much like Persephone herself—a figure bound to both earth and shadow. The artist evokes the tension of beauty and darkness, suggesting the fragile line between life’s fleeting joy and its inevitable descent.

Persephone Young invites viewers to embrace this interplay of light and dark within themselves, honouring the growth that comes from journeying into life’s mysteries and emerging anew, season after season.
