Mushroom Guardian Screen Print | Daria Tessler (OR)

Somewhere deep in the enchanted undergrowth, a curious figure sits atop a towering mushroom throne—half guardian, half dream. Daria Tessler’s “Mushroom Guardian” invites you into a surreal little forest where fungi loom tall, cap patterns swirl like candy, and the natural world bubbles with mischief. A moon-faced protector balances with sly serenity, cradling a tiny, faceless creature in their lap as if safeguarding a secret too big for this realm.

Rendered in a rich palette of springy yellows, red-capped mushrooms, and velvety black, this print feels like a portal into a bedtime fable that was never fully told. Each detail in the scene is alive with playful tension—sacred and silly, ancient and new.
