She wears her history like armor.
Crowned in a headscarf wrapped with the precision of ritual — orange, blue, gold, woven through with bold geometric pattern — she meets your eyes with the quiet authority of someone who knows exactly who she is. Her dark skin glows beneath layers of acrylic built for depth and luminosity, every detail of her expression rendered with the same care Mys Nyx gives to eyes in all her work: as windows, not features.
But it's her adornments that transform this piece from painting into artifact. Genuine pearls. Freshwater pearls. Austrian crystals in varied cuts and colours. Glass beads, metallic beads, turquoise, silver, gold — layered necklaces cascading from her throat, applied directly to the canvas so the jewelry exists in real, tactile dimension. Her hands rest against the strands, drawing your eye to where paint ends and precious material begins.
The background settles into warm earth tones threaded with abstract cultural pattern, letting her dignity carry the composition. Signed NYX '25.
This is a portrait of cultural elegance rendered with the obsession of someone who believes adornment is sacred. One exists. One owner. Forever.

Blood on Black Satin
Acrylic on canvas · 24 × 36 × 2 in · One of one
She reclines in candlelight, draped in black satin, adorned with hundreds of precious gems and jewels — a portrait of beauty, stillness, and quiet mystery. But darkness reveals what daylight conceals.
When the lights go out, her face glows. Her spine glows. Her skull emerges beneath the surface — a luminous reminder that she was never quite what she appeared. The epoxy-painted candles continue to flicker in the dark. She is, and always was, already gone.
Blood on Black Satin is a meditation on beauty and mortality, rendered in acrylic with hidden glow-in-the-dark elements that transform the painting entirely after dark. One exists. One owner. Forever.
"Siku's Plunge" is a breathtaking limited-edition original gallery canvas painting that immortalizes the raw power and grace of Siku, the majestic male polar bear residing at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo.
This large-scale masterpiece measures 48.5" wide by 43.25" high on a deep 2-inch gallery canvas, allowing it to command attention with its immersive presence. Created primarily in vibrant acrylics, the painting is elevated by strategic applications of oil paint for rich, tactile texture—capturing the plush density of Siku's thick white fur, the subtle sheen of wet pelage, and the dynamic movement of water. Most strikingly, genuine plexiglass "ice chips" are incorporated into the composition, adding genuine three-dimensional sparkle and refraction that mimics fractured Arctic ice, making the icy blue depths feel almost tangible.
The artwork depicts Siku in mid-plunge, his powerful body slicing through crystalline Arctic waters with effortless strength. Bubbles trail around his massive paws and streamlined form as he propels forward, his dark eyes alert and focused, nose breaking the surface amid swirling turquoise and deep sapphire tones. The dramatic play of light filtering through the water creates luminous highlights on his fur and casts ethereal glows across the icy ledge above, evoking the frozen majesty of the polar bear's natural Arctic habitat while highlighting his remarkable swimming prowess—polar bears are among the strongest swimmers in the animal kingdom.
Inspired directly by real observations and photographs of Siku at the Calgary Zoo, this piece celebrates his resilient spirit (orphaned young in the wild and now thriving in conservation care) and serves as a poignant reminder of the vulnerability of his species—polar bears are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, facing threats from climate change and habitat loss.
Signed by the artist (NYX '25), "Siku's Plunge" is a stunning tribute to wildlife conservation and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Arctic's apex predator. Ideal for collectors of large-scale nature art, conservation enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a dramatic, textured statement piece that brings the chill and thrill of the polar wilderness indoors.
One-of-a-kind original acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas (2" depth)
Dimensions: 27" width × 36" height
Graceful ballerina captured mid-arabesque in a breathtaking leap, her body elegantly extended and arms flowing in perfect classical lines. She wears a delicate pointe shoe and leotard, her dark hair pulled into a soft bun adorned with pink accents. The tutu explodes outward in a dramatic cascade of hand-formed clay petals, meticulously sculpted and painted in layered shades of soft pink, rose, and blush, creating a three-dimensional floral explosion that appears to float around her.
The upper half of the dress and the hair band are richly embellished with genuine Austrian crystals in varying sizes and subtle pink-toned facets, catching light to mimic dew-kissed rose petals and adding luminous sparkle to the composition. Additional crystals are scattered thoughtfully across the clay tutu petals, enhancing the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the piece.
Rendered in rich acrylic with smooth gradients, soft shading, and dramatic lighting against a moody, atmospheric background of deep grays, pinks, and subtle misty tones. The dancer’s serene expression, arched neck, and focused gaze convey poise, strength, and quiet intensity. Signed "NYX '25" in the lower right.
Unique original artwork, hand-embellished with sculpted clay tutu, oil-painted details, and genuine Austrian crystals. Ready to hang. Limited to this single original piece.
Stardust Empress
Acrylic on canvas · 24 × 36 × 2 · One of one
She is Cassiopeia — the vain queen of Greek mythology, immortalized in the stars as punishment for her pride, forever circling the celestial pole. Mys Nyx has rendered her in obsessive detail, adorning her with over 1,000 meticulously placed precious gems, jewels, and glass that catch and hold the light like a night sky made tangible.
But wait for darkness. The Cassiopeia constellation is painted in epoxy resin and glows in the dark — her stars emerging exactly as they appear overhead, a hidden celestial map revealed only when the lights go out.
This is not a painting you see once. It changes with the light, with the hour, with the room. One exists. One owner. Forever.
