Venus Visionary is an original fine art painting by Ashvin Harrison, a hypnotic exploration of perception, consciousness, and the unseen threads that weave identity. In this surreal yet grounded portrait, Harrison merges hyperreal charcoal technique with celestial abstraction — unveiling a figure who embodies both the ancient muse and the future seer.

Painted in lifelike monochrome, the woman’s face is both serene and knowing. Dozens of eyes — two closed, the rest open — ripple across her skin like soft awakenings. A singular third eye rests at the center of her forehead, not as decoration, but as declaration: this is not a woman lost in thought, but a being entirely immersed in knowing. Her expression is meditative, timeless, and unapologetically inward. Whilst all eyes view us- the viewer, one eye discovers the answer.

Her hair, a torrent of colour, erupts upward in expressive chaos. Cosmic splashes of ochre, sky blue, blush, and obsidian spiral into motion — like the mind exploding in inspiration or the soul dancing in freedom. Embedded within the strands are orbiting moons and flickers of stardust, suggesting a mind not limited to Earthly reason but alive in the galactic unknown. Four red-orange butterflies flutter through the chaos, representing metamorphosis, awakening, and the fragile beauty of fleeting thoughts. Together, they form a lucky 7.

This work speaks deeply to the concepts of feminine power, Mother Nature, expanded perception, and cosmic intuition. A visual embodiment of Harrison’s evolving Motusrealism, it balances the technical rigour of anatomical accuracy with the wild, expressive motion of the emotional realm — offering a glimpse into the kind of seeing that transcends sight.
