The work of this artist is quite extraordinary, but quite modern and relevant. In her art, Selene Regener pays particular preference to portraits of women, both portraits of ordinary girls and portraits of fabulous girls. These works can be called not only beautiful, expressive and professional, but even symbolic. A certain proportion gives the paintings a special atmosphere, and their heroines have a special character. With the help of elements of fabulousness, the Swiss artist tries to show the magical nature of every girl and woman, their romance, a penchant for dreams and reflections. Every girl is a fairy tale, both externally and internally. The artist only emphasizes this through special symbolic means, endowing her heroines with the attributes of a fantasy world. Striking beauties in her works demonstrate their inner world, their dreams and aspirations through external qualities and features, reveal to the viewer what lies in the depths of their souls and hearts. Watching this is extremely interesting and exciting.

Fairytale, mythical, and sometimes even mystical portraits of girls are remarkable not only for their fantasy atmosphere and the depth of the artist's idea, but also for their professionalism. Selena's work looks very precise and detailed. I am glad that the artist pays both the quality of the image and the semantic component in her work, making her works unusually expressive and attractive.
