Dreamlike Scenes Unfold in Masha Foya’s Ethereal Illustrations

From glowing portals that open up in swimming pools to an oversized cat sipping from an ornamental fountain, Masha Foya celebrates wonder and imagination in her dreamy digital illustrations. Based in Kyiv, the artist has previously collaborated with clients like Adobe, The New York Times, Sierra Club, Scientific American, and more, and her personal work continues to explore gauzy, surreal scenes of reflection and solitude.

“Despite the difficult times we live in, I still try not to forget to notice the beauty around me: from mysterious summer shadows to incredible water reflections,” Foya says. See more on her website, Behance, and Instagram.
