What is most moving about Audrey Benjaminsen’s art is the way it captures a feeling of beautiful melancholy.
Her work for these classic gothic tales feels less like an illustration and more like a personal, dreamlike interpretation. The clarity of her figures, combined with the rich, flowing colors, creates a world that is at once concrete and ethereal. It’s as if she has reached into these stories and pulled out their very soul for you to see.
