Description
Wide green eyes, a glittering spiral horn, and the smallest pair of gilded wings: this newborn creature springs from its twig-and-moss nest with pure, untroubled joy. Around it, glowing butterflies drift through warm light, and a ribbon of golden dust spirals into the air. Behind the leafy treetops, the soft silhouette of the New York skyline lends the scene a dreamlike sense of place, as though magic had quietly taken root in the middle of a great city.
There is a tenderness here that lingers, the feeling of a first morning, a first leap, a world still wide open. Hung in a child’s bedroom or nursery, it invites bedtime stories and daydreams; in a softly lit corner of a home, a pediatric office, or a family hotel, it offers a small, glowing pocket of wonder. It is the kind of image children grow up beside and never quite outgrow.
From the Enchanted Beginnings : Baby Fantasy Creatures collection:
Every picture in Enchanted Beginnings begins with a wonderful question a child might ask: what if a rabbit wore a unicorn’s horn, what if a puppy paddled with a duck’s webbed feet, what if a monkey carried a tiger’s stripes. From those playful pairings the artist Cordoleani draws a whole bestiary of newborn creatures, rendered with the soft fur, wide eyes and clumsy charm of the very young. They feel half-remembered from a bedtime story, half-discovered in a dream you had as a child and never quite let go.
Seen together, the eight works read like the first chapter of a story still being written — a gathering of small, gentle beings at the very start of their lives. There is the quiet thrill of the new in each one, the sense that anything is still possible. To live with them is to keep a little of that wonder close, a daily reminder that imagination, like a child, is something tended and watched as it grows.

Interior Decorator’s Advice
- Hang a single creature at a child’s eye level above a crib, reading nook or play corner so it greets them face to face
- Favor soft, warm lighting; the smooth surface holds color beautifully and a gentle wash brings out the fur and rounded forms without glare
- Pair with calm, muted walls and natural textures — pale wood, linen, woven baskets — letting the creatures supply the color and personality
- Group three or more in a relaxed grid or gentle line to build a small menagerie, leaving generous space between pieces so each one keeps its charm
