The Portrait Show 13: Magic

Magic is woven into the fabric of our world—found in whispered spells, sacred rituals, cosmic forces, and the quiet mysteries of nature. It exists in the liminal spaces between the known and the unknown, in ancient symbols and modern technology, in the hands of mystics, seers, witches, and wanderers.

For this year’s Portrait Show, we invite artists to explore magic in all its forms—from esoteric traditions and occult practices to elemental energies and everyday enchantments.

Portraiture offers a portal into the unseen, a way to capture the spirit of the magician, the alchemist, the oracle, the healer, the enchanter, or the unknowable power itself. Whether inspired by folklore, historical figures, personal visions, or the forces of nature, bring forth a portrait that channels the mystical.
