Twitter Trends Throughout history, artists have used angels as a
source of inspiration, and deviantART user Matariil is bringing
these heavenly creatures into the 21st century with his
renditions of the mythological beings.  Sporting porcelain skin,
eagle-like wings and beaming light off their bodies, each one of
Matariil’s creations is evocative of images from the medieval
ages, but feature digital art techniques that would have never
been possible to achieve centuries ago. What’s also impressive
about Matariil’s work is that he finds so many ways to vary his
interpretations of the angel. Some are fairly traditional, but
others have avian facial features more in line with depictions
of harpies.  Matariil prefers to maintain his anonymity online,
though it is known that he hails from Russia.
