About the Item
"Centaur" Part of Neo Mythology series. Size is 27.5x19.5in / 70x50cm. Shipped rolled in a tube, check 1stDibs free shipping code.
Centaur is a mythological figure with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. In my artwork, he is depicted fighting.
Like the immortal mythological heroes, my subjects remind us of the human ability to remain beautiful and noble despite de passing of time and damage it brings.
The artwork Centaur from the Neo Mythology series is a striking and expressive interpretation of the centaur myth, executed with a raw yet dynamic energy. The artist employs ink and tempera on paper, creating a skeletal, almost translucent rendering of the mythical creature. The centaur is depicted in an active pose, its body twisting as it wields a curved weapon, evoking both movement and tension.
The background is a vivid turquoise, serving as a bold contrast to the stark white and black strokes that define the centaur's form. The skeletal anatomy of the figure is emphasized through gestural brushstrokes, which give it an ethereal, almost x-ray-like quality. The use of white highlights and deep black shadows adds a three-dimensional effect, making the centaur appear both ghostly and powerful.
The composition is well-balanced, with the arch of the centaur’s weapon mirroring the curvature of its rearing body. The loose, expressive lines suggest spontaneity and a sense of urgency, reinforcing the mythological energy of the piece. The signature on the left side integrates smoothly into the work without disrupting its flow.
This piece, part of the Neo Mythology series, reinterprets classical themes through a contemporary lens, merging the mythic with the modern in a visually compelling way. The skeletal depiction may symbolize themes of mortality, power, or the enduring nature of myths across time. The centaur, often representing the duality of man and beast, intellect and instinct, is here rendered with an almost ghostly intensity, making it a hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking work.
