Fantasy & Folklore: The Ornate Worlds of Dugin Art

Olga Dugina and Andrej Dugin, the artist duo known as Dugin Art, have been collaborating since 1989 to create intricate illustrations that blend fantasy, folklore and a sense of quiet mystery. Inspired by Renaissance art and traditional Russian folk imagery, their work is rich with detail and atmosphere. Each piece opens a window into a surreal, storybook world, where everything is beautifully crafted and endlessly absorbing.

Their illustrations often revolve around myth and narrative, bringing a layered, ornate style to classic tales. They’ve illustrated books like Hamlet and 1001 Nights, and their talents even made their way into the film world. Working as concept artists on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, they brought their distinctive visual language to the big screen.

Beyond books and film, their illustrations have been exhibited in galleries across Europe, earning them recognition and several awards along the way. To dive deeper into their imaginative worlds, check out their Behance portfolio or visit their official website.
