Description from the seller

• Hand Signed by the Artist
• Original Oil Painting on Canvas – Unique Piece
• Includes Certificate of Authenticity
• Direct from the Artist’s Studio
• Ready to Frame

This evocative original painting by legendary fantasy artist Sanjulián captures a haunting vision of King Kong—emerging from shadows in a swirl of expressive brushwork and ominous light. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece masterfully combines primal energy with emotional depth, portraying the iconic beast not only as a symbol of power, but also of tragic solitude.

With his characteristic use of atmosphere, dramatic contrast, and anatomical accuracy, Sanjulián delivers a cinematic and intimate portrayal. The piercing gaze and snarling mouth reveal both rage and vulnerability—hallmarks of the misunderstood monster mythos.

▸ Oil on canvas – Format: 42 x 30 cm (unframed)

Sanjulián is one of the most influential European illustrators in fantasy and horror art. Renowned for his iconic covers for Vampirella, Creepy, and other cult publications, his work bridges classical technique with genre storytelling. His original paintings are held in private and institutional collections worldwide.

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-signed painting and a rare opportunity for collectors of classic monster cinema and fine fantasy art.
