Whimsical creatures are just the visible part of Slonem’s iceberg. They guide the viewer to peaceful and mystical realities, deep under the image itself, where every creature becomes a song of praise. Slonem’s paintings are full of wonder. They are vibrant and innovative. They are also metaphysical tools and encompass the good, the true in addition to the beautiful.
