‘Selene’

oil on canvas 70 x 60 cm

This painting depicts the Greek goddess and personification of the moon, captured mid-dance beneath her own celestial light. Her upward gaze suggests an inward reflection - a moment of self-recognition within the vastness of the night. Selene appears luminous and dream-laden, as if drifting between worlds, embodying gentle melancholy of moonlight itself.

While other gods pursued power, she claimed the wild - its silence, its secrets, its ungovernable heart. A bow became her crown, and the moon - her companion. In her presence, the world itself seemed hushed, held in awe of her eternal grace.

'Artemis'

oil on canvas 70 × 60 cm

This portrait reimagines the ancient goddess of the hunt, Artemis - not as a figure of grandeur, but of restraint, clarity, and deliberate solitude. Artemis chose the bow instead of a crown, the silence of the wild over the noise of courts. She's a goddess bound not by thrones or kingdoms, but by an unbreakable vow of freedom.

‘Medusa’

oil on canvas 60 x 60 cm

This painting reimagines Medusa not as a monster, but as a sentient being caught between vulnerability and power. It explores themes of misunderstood femininity and emotional duality - strength born from pain, intimacy entwined with danger, and the humanity behind mythical fear. Rather than softening her, I aimed to restore Medusa - offering back the beauty that was once weaponized, then erased.

Medusa's presence is starting to settle in - no longer just a sketch, but a figure caught between the legend and self. Painting her face feels like revealing a side of her that's often overlooked - curious, self-aware, almost calm. A lot more to unfold!

I was going to add some audio later, as I always do, but my daughter came into the studio and started singing in the background. Unplanned, yet perfect ☺️
