Dark fantasy and surrealist oil painter, dotwork tattooist and engraver. Fighting chronic pain. I paint not to escape, but to endure.

Every line is a fragment of a dream I couldn’t wake from.
Every shadow remembers something I tried to forget.
I draw to see what words can’t say.
The shape of silence. The echo of a wound. #darkart #blackwork #artoftheday #fantasyart #gaelriccidot #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite

"Forest remembers.
Every arrow that pierced flesh is a hymn carved into the soil.
The meek fall, but the roots rise — carrying the weight of old blood." #art #illustration #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #blacksky #blackbooksky #artistsonbluesky

It took the shape of a memory — half beast, half bird — still flying in the places where memory bends. #blacksky #blackbooksky

Always chasing time… so I carved it into my skin.
The White Rabbit reminds me: every second is borrowed. #Tattoo #Blackwork #Linework #AliceInWonderland #WhiteRabbit #InkArt #IllustrationTattoo #blackandwhite #BodyArt

A crown is not just worn.
It’s carried in silence,
with every choice, every scar, every word unspoken.

There are nights when pain feels like a pact.
Not an accident, not a wound — but a covenant signed in silence.

The body twists, the nerves burn, and every second whispers of surrender.

A wolf that carries the forest in its breath.
Feral, fractured, yet eternal.
Ink as a reminder that strength is born from the wild. #tattoo #tattooart #blackwork #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #artistsonbluesky #blacksky #blackbooksky

A silent guardian, forged in ink.
Between decay and flight, it waits.
Not just a bird—
but a reminder that even in ruin, there is vigilance. #art #illustration #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #blacksky #blackbooksky #artistsonbluesky

Beneath rusted steel and shattered bone, he endures.
Once a knight of flesh and oath, now a vessel of silence and memory.
His armor no longer shields life, but carries the echo of battles uncounted.
