Greek Myth Heads
Reading about Narcissus sparked an idea to paint a mythological character in a contemporary style to show how the story still resonates today. The myth is, amongst other things, about vanity, the impermanence of beauty and mortality which are, of course, recurrent themes throughout our history.
Please read my blog for further details on the creative process.
Many original pieces from this series, using acrylic on board, are available to buy from this website through this link here.
