Garden of Fernal Delights – Visionary Art Compendium by 114 Artists - Limited Edition

A breathtaking and truly singular creation, The Encyclopaedia of Fernal Affairs is one of the most ambitious visionary-art publications of the 21st century. Conceived, designed, and produced by Liba Waring Stambollion, this monumental volume gathers the work of 114 international artists, forming a complete illustrated mythology of the sublime and surreal world of Fernalia.

More than a book, it is a portal: a 245-page hardback overflowing with hyper-detailed paintings, illuminated letters, intricate borders, maps, and essays exploring the metaphysics, species, gods, culture, eroticism, architecture, flora, fauna, portals, spirits, and rituals of the Fernal universe.

This copy is signed by the artist, making it especially desirable.
Printed in 2015, this is the Limited Edition of only 1000 copies, long sold-out and increasingly difficult to find.

🪶 Collector’s Note

This encyclopaedia has acquired cult status among visionary art collectors. Its fusion of myth-making, fantastical taxonomy, and cutting-edge contemporary art mirrors the spirit of Hieronymus Bosch, Ernst Fuchs, and outsider surrealism—yet stands entirely on its own.

Because the edition was capped at 1000 copies, and many are now kept in private collections, signed copies are exceptionally scarce. Each page is a self-contained artwork, making the book a treasure for lovers of esoteric worlds, imaginative ecosystems, and high-concept collaborative art.

A centrepiece volume worthy of any serious collection.
