Mar Cantón, "Dreamscape 01", watercolors and digital art.

A speed painting created using the leftover watercolor from my brush before rinsing it, while making color charts. Later retouched in Photoshop.

Involuntary release or art therapy.

There are places created from spaces in the mind that we believe or want to be empty, spaces we try to empty at all costs. In them dwell nightmares, monsters, terror... and sometimes simply reality, a reality that causes us voluntary blindness.

Moments of a fractured soul. Sighs, gasps of air, suffocation, the need to flee.

Unfinished spaces filled with the worst within us.

Everyone has a different standard to measure the horror they wish to escape.

Mar Cantón, "Two-headed abyssal woman, also known as the 'Boneless Mermaid'." 2026.

This nickname comes from the absence of the famous 'fish tail'; instead, she possesses two human legs, atrophied due to lack of use.

In her natural state, she inhabits the deepest parts of the ocean, where sunlight never reaches. As a consequence, her skin is very thin, of an almost transparent white.

She possesses the ability to weave nightmares with one of her heads and dream them with the other. She is capable of enduring two terrors in perpetuity: the nocturnal terror of falling asleep, and the diurnal terror of having to be awake.

The image shows a young, living specimen, extracted from the sea at a very early age.

It belongs to a book on Marine Creatures of Antiquity and Their Customs.
