“Russian Ballet” is a 2018 illustration created by the artist Victo Ngai in the United States. The artwork, rendered in mixed media, is a representation of the Fantasy Art movement and belongs to the genre of illustration.
The artwork depicts an ethereal and dreamlike scene of ballet dancers mid-performance. These dancers, elegantly poised, exhibit fluidity and grace through their contoured limbs and expressive postures. The dancers are portrayed in shades of blue, teal, and white, with some adorned in darker hues, creating a striking contrast. The background is filled with a starry, cosmic ambiance that enhances the fantastical and otherworldly feel of the composition. The intricate detailing in the dancers’ tutus and the soft interplay of light and shadow further accentuate the sense of motion and elegance in the piece.
