"The Entity That Learned A Smile" Art Print

The Entity That Learned a Smile – Original Dark Art Print & Poem by Carlos M. Torres

It watched, it listened, and it imitated. The Entity That Learned a Smile is no beast of fangs or flame—it is a mimic born of shadows, wearing joy like a mask stitched from broken memory. Its grin is too wide, its arms too bent, its presence too still. Yet behind that unsettling parody lies not malice, but echo—a creature desperate to reflect what it has never known.

Paired with the original poem The Entity That Learned a Smile, this piece embodies uncanny imitation and the quiet horror of being seen by something that cannot feel, only repeat. Both poem and image weave a haunting tale of innocence corrupted by misunderstanding, perfect for collectors of surreal, gothic, and horror-inspired art.

Part of the Lines of Ruin Art collection, this dual release fuses visual storytelling and written verse into one unsettling experience.
