I’ve always been fascinated by tattoo art. I love its contrast and the strong messages it brings. This sometimes makes me draw stuff which is not very original but I really feel like drawing it at that time. One of these artworks is this simple crescent moon wrapped in flowers resembling lotuses. The blossoms wrap the moon like a long floral black snake-like liana. The celestial body, outlined in bold ink strokes, contrasts with a simple dreamy light blue background with transparent clouds drifting by.
About the art style
This piece merges my fascination with the beauty of nature and the high coolness factor of tattoo art. The symbiotic existence between the floral blooms and the moon creates a harmonious balance. The choice of colors – soothing blues and whites – aims to evoke a sense of peace and serenity while the black keeps the edginess of the image. I drew the illustration in Affinity Designer which makes it very easy to draw beautiful shapes which was needed for the moon.
What made me draw this image
This type of flowers is a frequent theme in my art. I just love these simple elegant shapes and they are very pleasant to draw. The image was directly inspired by my sister because shes was thinking of getting this kind of tattoo to complement the tattoo of this cat which I drew for her.
About the symbols in the artwork
The moon symbolizes change, renewal, and the passage of time, reflecting the cyclical nature of life. In contrast, lotus flowers represent purity, enlightenment, and resilience, emerging from muddy waters to bloom beautifully. Together, they embody transformation, growth, and the journey towards spiritual awakening. Peace and growth, to sum up. But if you ask me about my personal associations, everything is about magic, fairytales, fantasy books and fascination with the stuff we are not able to ever know.

It’s very strange to write about art that I have drawn back in 2019 – some five years ago. Word by word I start to remember details of the time when I drew it. Weird experience. Anyway. Thanks for joining me on my artistic adventures.
