2025

Oil on 64x40cm Canvas

A mythological painting depicting the story of Daedalus features Daedalus and Icarus as the central figures, with Icarus shown falling toward the sea. Surrounding elements reference key parts of the myth: the wooden cow built by Daedalus, ants and a sea shell symbolizing his clever solutions, mechanical automatons representing his inventions, Athena shown as the one who blessed Daedalus with skill and wisdom, the island of Icaria below, and the primordial “Primary Mater” as a cosmic backdrop.
