Incarnata marks a threshold within my ongoing exploration of sirens. The figure is no longer entirely pre-form, yet it has not fully entered myth. What emerges here is a proto-body — unstable, blurred, caught between matter and apparition.
Unlike earlier works where the siren exists primarily as pressure or trace, Incarnata introduces a sense of corporeality without identity. The form is neither male nor female, neither human nor creature. It is a presence in the process of becoming, shaped as much by erosion and movement as by flesh.
The composition is structured vertically, as if the body were rising through layers of water, air, and mineral resistance. Edges dissolve, contours refuse to settle. The figure remains deliberately unfocused, preventing recognition and resisting portraiture. What matters here is not who appears, but that something insists on appearing.
Color and texture function as agents of transformation. Pale flesh tones blur into stone, while aquatic blues and mineral surfaces press inward. The image oscillates between emergence and dispersion, suggesting a body that has not yet decided whether it belongs to the world of matter or to myth.
Incarnata belongs to my broader Siren digital art series, where the siren is approached not as a narrative figure, but as an elemental state — a tension between land, water, air, and voice. Here, incarnation is incomplete, fragile, and provisional.
The work is conceived primarily as a printed piece, where scale and surface allow the ambiguity of the form to persist. The printed image preserves the hesitation of the figure, maintaining its instability rather than resolving it. A screen-based version exists as an extension of the work, introducing time into this moment of emergence.
Limited edition prints of Incarnata are available through my Unique Editions collection.
Red Tide emerges as a continuation of my ongoing exploration of sirens, not as literal figures, but as forces in formation. This work belongs to a space where land, water, and air begin to overlap — a threshold where myth dissolves into material presence. It is part of my broader Siren digital art series, where the siren is approached as an elemental presence rather than a narrative figure.
Rather than depicting a body, I approached Red Tide as a rising pressure. The composition holds a vertical tension, almost geological, as if something is being lifted from within the image itself. The siren here is not seen, but sensed — a trace, a density, a movement pushing upward.
The surface plays a central role. Textures accumulate and erode simultaneously, suggesting a skin that is forming and disintegrating at once. Stone, sediment, and atmospheric matter seem to blur together, creating a sensation where sky and ground lose their boundaries. This dissolution is intentional: I wanted the image to hover between emergence and collapse.
Color enters the work like a disturbance. The darker reds and muted mineral tones evoke an internal heat rather than an external event — a tide that rises from below, not from the sea. It is less about water than about pressure, weight, and transformation.
Red Tide follows the trajectory initiated in Fallen Song, while extending it into a more vertical, almost tectonic movement. Where Fallen Song suggested descent, Red Tide insists on ascent — not as triumph, but as necessity.
The work is conceived primarily as a printed piece, where scale, texture, and depth can fully unfold. The physical presence of the print reinforces the sense of mass and suspension that the image carries. A screen-based version exists as an extension of the work, but the print remains its core form.
Limited edition prints of Red Tide are available through my Unique Editions collection.
My first impression of Fallen Song was the sense of a body falling. It is not a figure, but a form collapsing into itself. It almost suggests the torso of a bird-woman reduced to a mineral core, as if an avian siren were caught inside stone at the moment she descends toward the sea. What remains is not the siren, but her impact, her outline swallowed by matter.
The surface behaves like a skin that is coming apart. There is a trembling in the textures, a sense that feathers turn to dust and that the form is being erased by wind. This dissolution fits the direction of the Siren Series. These beings are no longer creatures to depict, but forces, traces, and collapses. They exist in the moment where myth shifts into erosion.
Below the falling form, the blue acts like a mythical threshold. The sea is never shown directly, yet its presence is clear. It receives the fall and becomes the place where something is about to cross from one state into another. This tension between descent and transformation has become a signature of the series.
What strikes me most in this piece is the way the sky and the stone dissolve into one another. The upper atmosphere drifts into the mineral surface until both feel inseparable. This unstable horizon suspends the siren between breath and matter. The shifting blues, the dust-like fragments, and the soft haze all support this sense of dissolution. The environment seems to take part in her transformation, which deepens the idea that Fallen Song is not about depicting a body but capturing the meeting point between air, stone, and myth.
The stone mass can be read as a fossilized song — the residue of a voice crushed under its own weight and condensed into rock. Fallen Song holds that paradox: the silence that still vibrates, the echo that remains even after the siren has disappeared.
Part of the Siren Series, Fallen Song is available as a limited edition print. Details can be found on the Unique Editions page.

Leucosia Digital Art explores a suspended siren presence shaped by myth and tension.
Leucosia Digital Art — A Siren Held in Tension
Leucosia Digital Art opens a new chapter in the Siren Series while remaining firmly rooted in its mythic core. In this work, the siren does not appear as a figure but as a vertical trace pressed against a surface, almost as if she were trying to rise from stone. The composition pulls upward, creating a forced ascent that feels interrupted rather than resolved.
A band of cold blue opens on one side — not quite water, not quite sky. It behaves like a place the image could dissolve into if allowed to tip over. Beneath the surface, a muted red glows like a compressed heartbeat. Light crosses these areas without offering clarity; it reveals and erases at the same time, so Leucosia remains more sensed than seen.
A Threshold in the Siren Digital Art Series
Within the broader Siren Digital Art Series, Leucosia stands as a presence caught between call and silence. The avian origins of the ancient sirens are not illustrated directly. Instead, their memory lingers in the way forms stretch upward and in the faint suggestion of wings folded back into the surface.
This piece leans into the idea of a threshold. Rather than depicting the siren herself, it focuses on the moment when something tries to cross from one state into another — from stone to air, from colour to voice, from myth to perception. As a result, the image feels like an echo pinned to the wall, a vibration that has not yet decided whether it will appear or withdraw.
Leucosia Digital Art therefore complements works like Ligea and Parthenope while keeping its own register. Where other pieces explore drifting horizontality or dissolving atmosphere, this one insists on vertical tension. The eye is pulled upward along the central trace, then outward toward the cooler expanse of blue and the warm pressure of red.
Layered Textures and Digital Process
The sense of emergence in Leucosia is built through layers rather than outlines. Multiple passes of texture and soft digital “glazes” stack over one another, slowly pushing some areas forward while letting others recede. This layering process creates the impression that the surface has a memory — as if previous states of the image remain faintly visible beneath the final one.
Because of this approach, the work reads differently depending on the viewing distance. From afar, the vertical shape feels almost sculptural, like a relief pressed into stone. Up close, the surface breaks into subtle streaks, ripples, and blurred edges that suggest breath more than body. The siren is never fully there; she remains held inside the material, on the verge of becoming image.
This focus on texture continues the material direction present in much of my recent work. Even though Leucosia is created digitally, it is conceived with print in mind, especially the way pigments sit on museum-grade paper and the way light moves across a matte surface.
Availability, Printing and Unique Editions
Leucosia Digital Art is available as a limited-edition fine art print on archival Hahnemühle paper, produced using high-quality giclée printing. Each print is individually inspected, signed, and numbered, then accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. For collectors who wish to explore available sizes and pricing, you can find a complete overview here: Unique Editions.
In addition to the physical print, Leucosia also exists as a screen-based artwork intended for digital displays and curated projection environments. This dual presence — on paper and on screen — mirrors the work’s own state of suspension between material and immaterial space.
For those who prefer discovering new work on external platforms, my broader portfolio is also presented on Singulart, where future siren-related pieces may appear alongside other series.
Prompted by Ego Klar, echoing the tension of ancient avian siren myths.
She is not at rest here, Denis. Leucosia leans upward like a thought that cannot quite reach the surface. The stone does not fully contain her; it buckles slightly, as if the wall were trying to remember what it once carried. The cold blue at the edge behaves like an exit, yet it is also a risk — a place where her outline could simply fall away.
Nothing in this image gives the comfort of a clear figure. Instead, we are left with a pressure, a vertical insistence that feels almost sonic. The red pulse below does not illustrate a heart, but it remembers the labour of one. It keeps the myth alive without retelling it, the way a distant echo stays present long after the words have vanished.
You have not portrayed Leucosia; you have pinned her hesitation to the surface. She stands here as a narrow interval between appearing and disappearing, between call and silence. The Siren Series continues to transform, but this piece holds the moment when everything pauses — when even the cliff and the sea seem to wait for a decision that never quite arrives.
Parthenope Siren Series — Parthenope in Dissolution
Parthenope is part of the Siren Series. The work is rooted in the avian origins of the ancient sirens, yet it is reimagined through a non-figurative, atmospheric approach. While Ligea holds a sharp and attentive presence, Parthenope moves in another direction. She feels lighter, more fragile, almost ready to dissolve into the surrounding sea air.
This piece draws from the old story of Parthenope, the siren whose voice failed to sway Odysseus. According to the myth, her song broke, and silence followed. Instead of showing her fall, the artwork focuses on what remains after that moment: a body losing its outline, feathers turning into mist, and the faint memory of a final wingbeat. The myth becomes an echo rather than a figure.
A Suspended Moment in the Parthenope Siren Series
In Parthenope, shapes blend into each other — wing, shoreline, ripple, and shadow. This merging creates the sense that her hybrid, avian nature is returning to its elements. The presence of wings appears through rhythm rather than form. A downward sweep suggests the trace of a feather. A flicker resembles distant birdsong carried by the wind. Nothing resolves clearly, and this uncertainty becomes part of the work.
Because of this, the piece reflects the core idea behind the Parthenope Siren Series. It explores the space where sound turns into texture, where wings become waves, and where myth stretches into light. You can explore the full series here: Siren Digital Art Series.
Within this constellation, Parthenope stands as the quiet exhale — the moment after the call, when everything begins to thin into brightness.
Availability and Editions
Parthenope is available as a limited-edition fine art print on museum-grade paper, as well as a high-resolution digital version created for screen-based displays. Multiple sizes are offered to suit intimate rooms or larger installations.
For collectors who prefer external platforms, the artwork is also available on Singulart.
Prompted by Ego Klar, echoing the somber atmosphere of ancient avian siren myths through the restraint of the academic style.
She appears differently than Ligea, Denis. Parthenope doesn’t confront the world; she leans into it, dissolving at the edges. Her wings rise and fall with the wind’s hesitation, as if the air itself were deciding whether to hold her in place or let her vanish. She watches the trireme below not with hunger, but with recognition — a quiet acceptance of the story that once carried her name.
Nothing in her stance is theatrical. She is a weight of silence perched on the cliff, a presence carved out of sea mist and memory. The avian myth sits close to the surface: the woman and the bird layered together, sharing the same bones, the same urgency, the same restrained wingbeat. Every feather remembers the call she can no longer release.
You didn’t conjure a creature here, Denis. You summoned a threshold — the moment just before form disappears, when something ancient still lingers in the air. Parthenope stands inside that final breath, held between endurance and unraveling.
Ligea Digital Art is part of the Siren Digital Art Series and revisits one of the ancient sirens celebrated in Greek mythology. The work approaches Ligea not as a figure but as a presence — an echo held between sea, air, and memory. The piece extends the broader exploration found in the series, where the myth is interpreted through abstract, non-figurative visual language.
The work draws subtle inspiration from the classical iconography surrounding the myth, including John William Waterhouse’s Ulysses and the Sirens (1891), while deliberately stepping away from figurative representation. Instead, Ligea Digital Art captures the vibration of a moment suspended — a breath held between attraction and self-control, where the myth lingers without revealing itself.
The artwork connects directly to the larger conceptual framework of the series, which you can explore here: Siren Digital Art Series.
Ligea Digital Art — Breath and Resonance
Layers of digital texture accumulate into a tension that feels almost sonic — a muted birdsong circling in the distance, a vibration of feathers brushing against air. The work invokes the ancient siren as she once was: a being between woman and bird, her wings poised, her voice a call that could unmake direction itself. No figure appears, yet the sensation of wings beating against the cave wind, then halting in mid-gesture, rises through the composition. This suspended threshold is central to the Siren Digital Art Series, where sound dissolves into light and light into the echo of a wing held unspent.
In this space of incomplete flight — neither ascent nor fall — the siren’s avian nature becomes pure atmosphere. Ligea becomes the breath before a wingbeat, the desire held in tension, the call that quivers at the edge of becoming. A meditation on presence and distance, it is the myth held in mid-air: a clappement of wings restrained between attraction and self-control.
Availability and Editions
Ligea Digital Art is offered as a limited-edition fine art print on museum-grade paper, as well as a high-resolution digital work intended for contemporary screen-based displays. Multiple sizes are available to accommodate intimate settings or larger installations.
The artwork is also available on Singulart. Collectors who prefer exploring through the platform will find Ligea on Singulart.com under Denis Leclerc’s artist page.

Ligea — Study in Academic Light
I didn’t expect her to be this still.
Ligea does not arrive with a song, nor with an invitation. She settles. Low. At the edge of the sea, where stone meets breath.
Her wings are not symbols. They are weight. Lived-in, darkened by salt and wind, folded not in rest but in restraint. This is not a figure about flight — it is a figure about holding.
What emerges here is a tension without spectacle. Flesh does not dominate the wing, nor does the wing escape the body. They coexist, unresolved. The posture is compact, vigilant, as if every muscle remembers a choice not yet made.
She is not watching the sea to call it closer. She watches to remain.
