The Beasts Within is about the power of imagination and how it brings ideas and dreams to life. The unicorn, dragon, wolf, and other creatures in the piece emerge from the subconscious, in a mix of wonder, fear, and the unknown. The unicorn, a symbol of purity and magic, rests gently against the sleeping woman, pointing to a deep connection between dreams and reality.

The colors and textures in the background add to the dreamlike feel, making it look like another world in which fantasy and reality mix together. The branches growing from the woman’s hair symbolize how imagination is always growing and changing, just like nature. The mixing of nature and beast shows the wild and beautiful sides of creativity.

This piece invites people to explore their own imagination and think about the nature of the beasts that live within their own minds.
