Behind the Art: The Story of “Dragon Fruit”

At Lilia’s Eye Candy, every collection begins with a single work of art — created stroke by stroke through the eyes of our artist, Lilia Munn. Our “Behind the Art” series invites you into Lilia’s creative world, exploring the stories, inspirations, and transformations behind each piece.

Bursting with Life: The Art of “Dragon Fruit”

Vivid, tropical, and full of movement — Dragon Fruit is an explosion of color and energy. With layers of fuchsia, lime, and coral, the piece radiates warmth and vitality, echoing the lush tones of its namesake fruit.

Painted entirely through her vision-tracking technology, Lilia transforms vision into motion, turning every eye movement into a brushstroke. The result is a piece that feels alive — pulsing with rhythm, color, and a sense of playful spontaneity.

Like the fruit itself, Dragon Fruit is unexpected and bold — a joyful tribute to nature’s creativity and a reminder that art can nourish the soul just as beauty nourishes the senses.

From Nature to Canvas

Lilia drew her inspiration from the dragon fruit’s striking palette and unique form. Its vibrant pink skin and speckled, lush interior sparked her imagination — a tropical muse unlike any other.

For Lilia, who paints through her eyes due to motor limitations, the fruit’s organic beauty represents more than color — it symbolizes freedom and vitality. She channels that vibrance through sweeping, layered patterns that suggest growth, energy, and joy in motion.

Through her process, the ordinary becomes extraordinary — a transformation of fruit into fine art.

From Canvas to Creation

The spirit of Dragon Fruit now extends beyond the canvas into wearable form. Its radiant tones infuse two luxurious mulberry silk scarves and a vibrant athleisure set, blending art, fashion, and empowerment into one lively collection.

Each piece captures the same energy as the painting — bold, spirited, and full of life. Whether worn on a morning walk or styled as a statement accessory, Dragon Fruit invites you to embrace color, confidence, and creativity in every moment.
