Fairy art

Like angels, fairies have always been a popular winged creature in many cultures and fictional stories. Unlike angels, however, fairies are one of the most versatile beings in art today, ranging from small and sweet, to naughty, to downright evil. This makes fairy art great for almost anyone. You can find lively little pixies to decorate your living room, bedroom, dining room, office, and even your apparel and school locker. Fairy art has been around for centuries and depicts and explores such a wide range of emotions, desires and dreams. Use fairy art in your decorative plans to bring more whimsy and fantasy into your living space and life.

Fairy art is versatile, but comes in basically two varieties-traditional and alternative. In the traditional category, you have many different styles. You have the Tinkerbell-like fairy, which is a vivacious little pixie. These fairies are often depicted in mischievous situations and many times they display a type of playful sexuality. Also in the traditional line of fairy art are woodland fairies. These tiny fairies are nature-based and often wear clothing made of flowers or leaves, and are depicted in settings such as flower patches, trees, meadows, and near bodies of water. These fairy paintings or drawings are great for people who love the outdoors or who identify with nature religiously or spiritually. These fairies are often blended in with the scenery around them, making the viewer of the art feel like they too can escape to an outdoor hiding place. Traditional fairy art is a great way to express your magical side and bring out a sense of playfulness in yourself.

In addition to traditional fairy art, there is also a wide variety of alternative fairy paintings and drawings available today. These fairies might have a gothic side, an erotic edge, or even be evil fairies. Gothic fairy art is often quite raw and might be sad, vulnerable, emo, or ghostly. These fairies might be depicted as victims or prisoners, and really reach out to the viewer in an emotional way. Erotic fairies are also quite popular and drawings or paintings of these creatures range from little temptresses, to nude beauties and might be placed in settings such as forests or ponds with other fairies or alone in dark, shadowy rooms or modern settings such as bars. There are also nice art pieces depicting evil fairies, those that are taking mischief to another level, maybe ruling over souls in the underworld or acting as the angel of death. These fairies bring the true human emotion of fear and anger into the viewer and can be startling reminders of our mortality.

In addition to drawings and paintings of traditional and alternative fairies, there are also fairy art photographs available. Traditional photographs might be of children or babies in fairy costumes, groups of intricately costumed fairy dancers, or lovely fairies hiding in the woods. Alternative fairy photographs include models in gothic fairy costumes, editorial-style fairy photographs showing off seasonal fashions, and fairy wings on nude women or ladies in lingerie. You can even find prints of the famous Cottingley Fairies, which were taken in 1917, and are still believed by many to be photographs of actual real life fairies. Just imagine how much fairy photographs can add to your fairy decorating scheme and brighten or deepen a room’s mood.

If you love fairies so much that you don’t want to leave your fairy art behind when you head off to school, then you might consider a variety of fairy art items that can decorate your school locker, backpack, and even homework. Locker fairy art such as small prints, stickers and accessories such as magnets and mirrors will flutter into your heart every time you retrieve your books. And gothic fairy stationary, jewelry, and other accessories show off your dark and sexy sides at the same time.
