The Art, The Artist, The "FANTASHION"

The Artist and The Art

the hand drawn art that make an impact

In the world of MONNARROW, where sound and story weave through shadows and light, there exists an artist whose silent presence speaks through every brushstroke, every vision — Jowen Riven.

Jowen is not only the visual architect of MONNARROW’s realm but also one of its most powerful creative souls. A true multidisciplinary force. He sings, he paints, he dreams and he creates with unshakable intention. Each piece he crafts is not merely a visual; it is a lens into the emotional and conceptual soul of the music. A gentle yet fierce creative energy, Jowen embodies the MONNARROW spirit: introspective, raw, and poetic.

His most recent visual odyssey, FANTASHION, stands as a luminous companion to the album bearing the same name. While John Will sculpts sound into story and melody — an audible art form that pulses through memory and meaning, Jowen Riven answers in silence with vision, giving shape to the unseen.

The digital cover of FANTASHION is more than artwork. It is a map of feeling, layered in symbols and subtle revelations. Twelve fingers extend in surreal grace, each one a quiet sentinel to the twelve songs within. Each finger, distinct, yet interconnected, captures the essence of the album’s sonic personalities.

An eye resting inside a mouth, a striking motif invites us to see through song. It whispers that in our singing, in the stories we offer, truth may be found not only in sound but in sight. And from the ears, floral forms unfurl — petals woven with eyes and mouths, suggesting a synesthetic harmony. In MONNARROW’s world, to listen is to see, to taste is to feel. The senses converge where sound becomes colour, and silence speaks loudest.

Jowen Riven’s art, like the music it accompanies, invites reflection rather than explanation. His work doesn’t scream; it resonates. It reminds us that in a time ruled by haste, the most powerful expressions are those that bloom slowly—gently—within.

In the ever-expanding universe of MONNARROW, Jowen is not merely a contributor. He is a cornerstone. An artist who brings clarity to chaos, elegance to emotion, and vision to voice.

Here, in this world we build each melody, each visual tells a part of the same tale: one of searching, of remembering, of creating beauty from the quiet.
