Figurative illustration and symbolic narrative.
Studio practice, commissioned work, and the ongoing development of Mythos Penta.
MCV Arts is a figurative illustration studio concerned with symbolic narrative and myth-adjacent imagery.
The practice encompasses commissioned work, personal studies, and the long-term narrative and visual development of Mythos Penta, an original illustrated mythology.
Influenced by classical figure work and older folkloric traditions, the studio approaches drawing as both discipline and invocation, where image precedes explanation.

Mistivo’s arms wrapped around her from behind. Valisse didn’t pull away. She let herself lean back into the warmth of him, closed her eyes, and allowed the comfort even as her mind wandered elsewhere to a face she couldn’t find, a voice lost across timelines, a love that existed somewhere she couldn’t reach.Mythos Penta
Mythos Penta is a five-book mythic anthology written and illustrated in tandem. Five interwoven volumes exploring transformation, memory, exile, and return. Written and illustrated as a single evolving practice, it is a living mythos shaped through drawing, revision, and silence as much as through story.
