About
​
​Elliana Blevins is an illustrative artist from Northern Virginia. Her work is composed of black-and-white fantasy illustrations. Elliana's illustrations are designed to function as modern-day spellwork in an art form. She uses symbols, icons, and imagery to manifest the reality she wants to will into existence. Each flower and token is bound with meaning, like magic written on an ancient scroll. The start black and white colors simplify the spell, bringing it into its purest form. “I choose everything based on what I want a specific piece to do for me. Whether I wish to know myself better, solidify love, or protect myself, my work allows me to bring those things into my reality”
