Deep into the Big Smoke, between the hustling and bustling streets of London lie The Magnificent Seven: Green islands of silence and contemplation, ruled by life, death and the balance of sins and virtues. Seven secret gardens whose fate hangs perpetually in a tenuous string woven by your ability to survive the buzz of the surrounding metropolis.
These illustrations represent that place where you feel calm and peaceful while the world is whirling on. I found the inspiration for the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN illustration series while walking around Victorian London. But they are only about one specific place - that of serenity inside yourself amidst a world of chaos.
Three illustrations from this series are now available as museum-quality giclée prints in my webshop.
