Welcome to Creature from Dreams!

This website was created to spread inspiration by showcasing the amazing works of dozens of modern artists themselves inspired by the fantastic and the mysterious; those artists whose minds wander in parallel realities, in the worlds of legends and mythology, in distant planets and universes.

The idea of creating CfD appeared during a visit to the National Gallery of Art in London. While walking down room after room, I realized that the only mythological works in the gallery where from Christian and Greek mythologies. There was no place in there for the myriad of other legends and, in particular, for the huge amount of mythology created during and after the 18th century.

Nowhere in the gallery I could find pictures of ghosts, werewolves, elves, fairies, robots, aliens or gods from other cultures. But I knew where to find those pictures - on the internet, in RPG books, in graphic novels, but not in any gallery. As if they did not deserve one!

That was how Creatures from Dreams was born. As a virtual gallery for fantasy and science fiction. A place where the most beautiful works of that art could be “hanged” in a digital wall. Maybe, one day, a physical gallery will also come to life, but that is a project for the future…

About the Artists and Artworks

The artworks in this website are not from my authorship, they belong to several talented artists all around the world. The aim is to disseminate their work and, hopefully, to help them overcome an artist’s many difficulties to survive solely on art these days.

Due credit is given to authors and, when available, a link to the artists’ websites is included. Unfortunately, there are some early posts which lack credits. They have been usually shared from other Tumblr accounts. My present policy is not to share anything without due credits, but if you find something without it, please let me know and I will try to find the correct information. If I cannot, I will simply delete the work.

If you’re an artist whose artwork I featured in this website and you want me to take it out, simply send me a message and I will immediately comply with your request. If, on the contrary, you would like me to take a look at your work and share it here, I will be delighted to do it.
