Women in paintings Tom Bagshaw (Tom Bagshaw) look like real witches: in the entourage of gloomy rooms or nocturnal nature, their mystical images amaze the viewer with their beauty and inner strength.
Tom Bagshaw is a British illustrator who works for such eminent publications as Sony, the and others. Tom turned to digital painting only about 10 years ago, before that he worked in traditional ways - with oil and acrylic paints, pastels and ink. The artist admits that the paintings of those times are only illustrations that are only indirectly related to his inner world. Now, having at his disposal the enormous possibilities of manipulating reality with the help of computer programs, Tom Bagshaw splashes out on the "canvas" of his inner monsters, his universe.
Tom works in the genre of digital painting and explores the themes of mysticism, beauty and fantasy in paintings. He strives to create portraits as realistic as possible, despite the fair share of fantasy elements in the plots of the paintings. The women he portrays are not weak fragile creatures, but strong and strong-willed characters, enveloped in an atmosphere of magic, deceit and magic.
Another example of Gothic digital portraits can be seen in a series of works by a Brazilian artist - in her paintings, young, sophisticated girls are in a fantastic environment, similar to the tale of forest nymphs, but with elements from horror films about vampires, werewolves and the living dead.

Magic painting and magic realism by Michael Parkes (Michael Parkes)
The work of Michael Parkes, an American artist belonging to the genus of hippies, is usually called an enchanting, magical and unusual world in which a special atmosphere reigns, and mythical animals and other creatures live outside of time and space.

Renoir's Muses, or Hymn to Female Beauty: whose portraits the artist painted throughout his life

Oil Painting: Photorealistic Female Portraits by Christian Vlegels
The French philosopher Roland Barthes rightly asserted: "Nothing written can compare in reliability with a photo." Indeed, with the invention of the camera, people have learned to “catch” every moment, to record life as it is.
