Gothilicious No. 1

Gothilicious No. 1 – Fine Art Giclée Print

"Gothilicious No. 1" –  Once We Were Forever. In this quietly spellbinding portrait, a young woman sits at the edge of a cobblestone path in an old cemetery, her presence almost ghostlike against the soft blur of crypts. Her long, dark hair cascades over a caramel-brown coat, framing a face that is both serene and faintly melancholic. She holds an autumnal bouquet—dried roses, faded greens, clusters of pale blossoms—like a relic from a memory she hasn’t decided to keep or let go. The mood is intimate and cinematic, as if she exists between worlds: the living city behind her and the inner landscape of longing that holds her still.

Subtle gothic sensibilities echo through the scene. Her deep, smoky gaze, the black lace-up boots, the muted palette of brown, charcoal, and frost-kissed stone—everything conspires to create an atmosphere that feels romantic yet shadowed. The result is a portrait that blends vulnerability and quiet strength, capturing a moment of introspection that invites you to imagine the story she carries.

Certificate of Authenticity

Art Style: The image draws heavily on neo-gothic portrait aesthetics: moody, atmospheric lighting, subdued tones, and a soft, cinematic depth of field. There are echoes of European art-house film photography—think early-morning Paris or Prague streets—where isolation and beauty intertwine. The composition leans into classic romanticism with its natural posture, soft expression, and the symbolic bouquet, while the modern styling (sleek boots, long waves, tailored coat) anchors it firmly in contemporary fashion-goth sensibilities. The selective focus and blurred cityscape channel high-end editorial portraiture, blending fashion photography with fine-art emotional storytelling.
