Silence the Humming

by Aria Fawn

Your mind seeks the static, humming, and hot.
If you turned it down forever, would you still know your thoughts?

Getting quiet has become one of the most important things to my well-being, but it’s certainly not always easy. I think many of us feel the impulse to surround ourselves with constant distraction, and I know for some, the idea of silence is genuinely terrifying. I can certainly understand this fear as one of the first times I truly got quiet with myself it opened up so many doors I had tried to shove closed and led to a flood of self-realization I had never expected, both terrifying and beautiful and heartbreaking and wonderful. I wanted to paint a helpful being as a reminder to tune in to yourself and turn down the static noise of worldly distractions. You never know what might flourish if you do.

Aria Fawn

My name is Aria Fawn and I am a self-taught artist working full time out of my home studio. Though born in the otherworlds, I was mostly raised in Colorado where I live to this day ♡

My oneiric, dark and surreal art style is inspired by dreams, nature, and nostalgia.

My work mainly features animals with whom I seek to tell stories and offer an open discussion with the viewer.

Much of my work also deals with emotional underlying subjects surrounding mental health and difficult life situations portrayed through fantasy. My aim is to capture real and identifiable human emotions through animal fables, and give viewers a sense of sanctuary.

Aside from nature and animals, music has perhaps one of the most immense influences on my work, which has led to me getting to work on a number of album covers for musicians all over the world.

On the occasions I am not locked away in the studio, I spend my time exploring the otherworldly planes of the earth with my canine familiar, Shinigami, or else writing, sculpting, and obsessing lovingly over dead things.
