Daria Hlazatova (Ukrainian) Imaginary City, 2014 Daria Hlazatova’s vibrant painting, with its swirling onion domes, rhythmic patterns, and harlequined tower peaks, leads us to imagine the music and dance, theater and story-telling that's going on inside of those fantastic castles. This is one of Pomegranate’s most popular 300-piece puzzles, for all ages.

Ukrainian artist Daria Hlazatova thinks of her artwork and style as a synthesis of everything she has seen, enjoyed, and dreamed of. Her works tap into a powerful feminine quality that is somewhere between dreamy and earth-goddess punk. Her style—rich in lacy detail and rife with spontaneous, rhythmic energy—lends itself to the starscapes and mythical figures that she often portrays. But a watchful gaze is her most frequent and personal motif. “I never feel like the work is truly alive unless it has at least one eye in it,” she says. “It should look back at you.” In addition to her career in fine art, Hlazatova is a published author and book cover artist.
