Fairies
have been a part of growing up since many bedtime stories involved these
magical and winged little creatures. The origin of fairies, however, is not as
clear as day. Some people believe they originated from the Celtic mythology,
while some trace its origin to ancient Greek and Mesopotamian
cultures, whose beliefs are based on nymphs that keep boys forever young. Some
cultures believe that fairies are actually angels sent down from the heavens to
protect earthlings.
While accounts on their origin are conflicting,
the impact of these fairies on today’s culture can’t be denied. For one, some
people draw inspiration from fairy myths to create art. Fairy art is typically
categorized as fantasy art, along with elves, dwarfs, and leprechauns. Unlike
these aforementioned creatures, though, the sight of fairies in paintings or
any wall art never fails to mesmerize—the beautiful faces of the fairies manage
to draw people in.
Fairy art is not only found in paintings or wall
decorations. Some people have been inspired by their mesmerizing appearance
enough to create lavish and shiny gowns, floral headdresses, and fashion
accessories that make the wearers resemble these fairy creatures. Donning these
fashion pieces make them feel a sense of magic within themselves, and in a way,
they feel like a fairy for a day and aspire to do good to others.
