NYMPHS I

A horizon line in the center of the canvas, divides and unifies at the same time two abstract worlds.

  • The nymphs in ancient Greek folklore are female nature deities, regarded as personifications of na- ture. The four repeated heads allude to the four subgroups in which they were divided: Meliae (ash tree nymphs), the Naiads (freshwater nymphs), the Nereids (sea nymphs), and the Oreads (moun- tain nymphs).
  • The upper part is characterized by a more hu- man-made physical setting. Though solid colors with no contour, emerge geometric elements as that of arches, columns and stairs.
    Motifs of Greek mythology evolve into contempo- rary forms bridging the gap between old and new, nature annd artefact, classicism and modernism.
