Much like #AliceInWonderland, I invite collectors to peer through the looking glass – in this case, a magnifying glass – to unlock the secrets and stories hidden within these jewel-like treasures. Step into this intriguing blend of eras, and let your imagination roam free. In these primordial landscapes, I become a spectral presence in a bygone world, where dinosaurs once roamed the earth.Īs we approach the thinning veil between our world and the supernatural this Halloween season, my work is a nod to the ethereal and the mysterious. The stately hats symbolize a connection between past and present, reflecting our timeless fascination with the unknown. These self-portraits dance between history, mystique, and a dash of the eerie.

But there's a wink to Victoria's Secret, the iconic lingerie brand, beneath those towering hats and ghostly veils, leaving room for your imagination to wander. Each self-portrait bears the name #Victoria, from 1 to 14, echoing the era's formality.

In my latest series, I playfully dive into the enigmatic world of #VictorianSpiritPhotography, offering a whimsical twist. #CristinaSchek #ImaginationExplorer #Surrealart #Surrealartist #artfair #HamptonCourtJousting #Jousting #TransilvanianInLondon #SurrealArt #ShopLocal #HilaryMantel #WolfHall #WolfHallTrilogy #BringUpTheBodies #HamptonCourt #HenryVIII #AnneBoleyn #JaneSeymour #LucyWorsley #historicroyalpalaces #ThomasCromwell #TudorEngland #CardinalWolsey #TudorTrilogy #HistoryLovers #historygeek #TheTudors Location: St Albans Catholic Primary School Hall, Beauchamp Road, East Molesey, KT8 2PG Looking forward to seeing you this weekend at Autumn Fair.ĭates: Saturday 11th - Sunday 12th November 📍 And then, join me across the pond at Art during the spectacular Art Miami Basel week 5-10 December 2023, alongside the along a friend or anyone you think might be interested. 📍 Firstly, catch me at The Molesey Art Society Autumn Fair in London this weekend on 11-12 November 2023, 10am-5pm.
