Unusual art for unusual people

Ufy is a contemporary visual artist who transforms surreal beings into powerful reflections of human emotion.

Their work can be defined by expressive brushwork, vivid colours and atmosphere that prioritises the raw feeling over realism. Ufy seeks to express the essence of emotion into visual form and creates works that can feel haunting, loving, vulnerable and deeply human. 

By giving shape to emotions through surreal portraiture, Ufy invites you to connect, reflect, and find recognition in the uncanny.

— Surreal Sci-Fi Illustration

Client: Annie Chown
Medium: Ink and Japanese watercolours
Year: 2025

Commissioned by sound artist Annie Chown, Eat the Rich is a surreal sci-fi illustration created to visually represent her immersive soundscape across YouTube, SoundCloud, her website, and other platforms.

Set in a distant galaxy, the piece imagines a dystopian restaurant where giant cyborgs feast on the wealthy, merging dark satire with futuristic fantasy. Using ink and Japanese watercolours, I brought this world to life with expressive detail, fluid linework, and vivid contrast, capturing both the grotesque and the beautiful.

Proceeds from art print sales are donated to a charity providing direct support to a family in Gaza.

The face has dark, hollow eyes, a long nose, and lips from which a fork is emerging. The creature's head is connected to wires that appear to be plugged into the sides of its head, with a red watercolor background.

This project reflects my passion for collaborative storytelling, transforming sound and concept into distinctive visual identity.

Surreal Bloom

Where pain and hope meet, beauty blooms.

Bring this piece home and let art become an act of love.

“Surreal Bloom” is more than a painting, it’s a heartbeat on canvas, a whisper of resilience.
