"Spirit Token” is an oil painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Tarkir: Dragonstorm set.

My Spirit Token painted for MtG Tarkir Dragonstorm was selected for Infected by Art Volume 14! This is my favourite oil painting I’ve done for Magic so far, so it holds a really special place for me 🖤

I’m not sure what my schedule for the year is going to look like yet. I’ll be at F2F Vancouver for sure and possibly Vegas

"Things Left Behind", personal piece from 2019 or so. I'm always trying to remind myself to save some time for personal work like this, but I haven't been terribly effective at doing so.

Love this one, your personal art is so evocative!

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤
