“Celestial Veil” by Moonchild

Nani Tamoona is an illustrator, character designer and AI artist. Under the pseudonym “Moonchild” she creates art imbued with the spirit of nostalgia for childhood. Each art hides the mystery of the intersection of fantasy and reality, depicted in bizarre shapes and proportions. She shares about her work “Celestial Veil”: “A tapestry of stars and light, A web of magic, pure and bright, A veil that shields the heavens’ might, From the eyes of mortal sight. (…) For the Celestial Veil is a bridge, A gateway to the divine, A passage to the cosmic ridge, Where immortality does shine.”
